Golden Finance reported that today is the 15th anniversary of the birth of the Bitcoin Genesis Block. On the afternoon of January 3, 2009 (early morning of January 4, 2009 Beijing time), Satoshi Nakamoto created the first Bitcoin block, the Bitcoin Genesis Block (block height 0), on a small server in Helsinki, Finland, and received the first block reward of 50 Bitcoins. In the Genesis Block, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote the following sentence: The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks. This sentence was the headline of the front-page article of the British Times that day. The sentence left by Satoshi Nakamoto is undoubtedly a mockery of the traditional banking system. It is worth noting that the second Bitcoin block was not mined until 5 days later on January 8, 2009 (local time). The first Bitcoin transfer occurred on January 12, 2009, when Satoshi Nakamoto transferred 10 Bitcoins to Hal Finney, an early Bitcoin developer. Since then, the era of cryptocurrency represented by Bitcoin has officially begun.
