🟠 Today marks 16 years since the launch of the Bitcoin blockchain

On January 3, 2009, a person or group of people under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto launched the main network of the first cryptocurrency, mining the genesis block with 50 BTC, the hash of which was added to the headline of the article in The Times "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".

The founder later left, leaving the project in the hands of the community, which continues to develop BTC to this day.
