Exactly 16 years ago, on January 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto launched the main bitcoin network by mining a genesis block that generated 50 BTC.
Its hash partially contains the headline of The Times article “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”.
The article was about how UK Finance Minister Alistair Darling is being forced to consider new measures to bail out banks amid the economic crisis.
So, my friends, today we celebrate Happy BTC Genesis Block Day! 🎉🎉🎉
