  • The very first Bitcoin exchange
  • The site was proposed on the Bitcointalk forum by “dwdollar” on Jan. 15, 2010.
  • "On March 17, 2010, Bitcoinmarket.com went live. Like all platforms that sprung up in those early days, the exchange was rickety, and holes were often patched following feedback from Bitcointalk forum members. The site accepted Paypal initially as its means of exchanging BTC for fiat. This system worked for a while, but as Bitcoin grew, so did the number of scammers. Following a string of fraudulent trades, Paypal was removed from the exchange on June 4, 2011."
  • Was eventually surpassed by Mt. Gox
