#BitcoinTurns16
Bitcoin turned 16 years old on January 3, 2025. On this day, in 2009, Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, mined the first block, known as the “genesis block,” marking the start of the cryptocurrency revolution. Over the years, Bitcoin has evolved from a niche project into a global financial asset, spurring the development of countless other cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies. Its 16-year milestone is a reminder of how far it has come, despite facing various challenges such as regulatory scrutiny, scalability issues, and market volatility.
