Celebrate 16 Years of Bitcoin’s Genesis Block Milestone! – BitRss

Today marks the 16th anniversary of the Genesis Block, the cornerstone of Bitcoin (BTC) $96,152. On January 3, 2009, the pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto mined this block, earning the first 50 BTC. The Genesis Block is not just a technical beginning; it also contains an economic message: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on the brink of second bailout for banks.” This message highlighted the economic crisis of that time, symbolizing the birth of a decentralized financial system.
