Today is the 16th birthday of #Bitcoin , which is bought by the world's largest companies, legalized by their countries and now accepted by everyone... Satoshi Nakamoto created the first mining block in Bitcoin on January 3, 2009 and officially launched the Bitcoin system. Satoshi also wrote his historical message on the first block he mined.
Today is Bitcoin's birthday... After publishing the whitepaper on October 31, 2008, Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto officially launched the system on January 3, 2009 and created the first block. This block, called "Genesis" or the starting block, also gave the first reward of 50 BTC.
The historical message in the first block...
#Satoshi , whose identity (or identity) is still unknown today and whose existence is even a matter of debate, wrote his historical message on the starting block. The headline of the British newspaper The Times of that day, "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks", was officially written on the first block that was mined.
The Times headline read, “Finance minister prepares 2nd bailout package for banks.” This meant that the state would bail out the banks (for the second time) in order to overcome the economic crisis.
By putting this headline in the first block, Satoshi was actually sending the message to the world that Bitcoin was the real salvation path outside of this system.
It was discussed for years and now it is accepted
Bitcoin, which was discussed for years whether it was a Ponzi system or not, was wanted to be banned but could not be banned and finally accepted by large companies, heads of state and countries, has reached a position where it has a market value of 2 trillion dollars today.
With its limited supply of 21 million units, decentralization, open source code, mining system and many other features, Bitcoin continues to grow every day.
