Bitcoin Series (2) - The Birth of the Genesis Block
On January 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first Bitcoin block on a small server in Finland and received a 50-bitcoin reward, marking the birth of the Bitcoin Genesis Block.
The block contained the headline of the Times on that day, "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".
This message proves that Satoshi Nakamoto did not pre-mine Bitcoin, and may also reflect Satoshi Nakamoto's intention to create Bitcoin - a new monetary and financial system.
