Helsinki is known for being at the forefront of the technology industry. It was home to Nokia’s headquarters, where Linux was first developed, and has a burgeoning game development industry. In terms of cryptocurrency, it was also home to the first ever cryptocurrency-to-fiat transfer, when Martti Malmi, a Finnish programmer, sold 5,050 Bitcoins in exchange for a $5.02 PayPal transfer. The transfer was completed in 2009, predating the much better-known Pizza Day, in 2010, when Bitcoin was used to buy a physical product.
