Bitcoin is turning 16 years old! On January 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto created the genesis block of the first cryptocurrency containing 50 BTC.
He soon left the project, putting it in the hands of a powerful and independent community that continues to develop the first cryptocurrency to this day.
The hash of the first block contained the date and the headline of an article in the British edition of The Times: “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”.
