Congratulations on the 15th anniversary of Bitcoin ($BTC)! 🥳
This block was mined on January 3, 2009 and is the first block in the Bitcoin blockchain. The transaction contains a hidden message:
"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."
The message was a reference to the 2008 financial crisis and was seen by many as a declaration of Bitcoin’s independence from the traditional financial system.
Bitcoin has come a long way over the past 15 years and is now a global phenomenon.
