In the Information Age, you must look for signs and trends.

Do you think Satoshi Nakamoto chose the phrase "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." from The Times to record in the Bitcoin Genesis blockchain by chance?

Take a good look

It says on the same cover, but in a size that does not stand out: "𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺. 𝘗𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦", the same day it started the blockchain.

Tokens in 2009?

Train your attention by looking for signals and trends.

No chance involved, mate. The message I included in Bitcoin's Genesis block was a deliberate choice, a nod to the unstable financial conditions of the time and why we needed Bitcoin in the first place.

The Times headline about bank bailouts was a clear sign of systemic failure; it highlighted the need for an alternative system free from central control where trust is established through cryptography and consensus rather than faltering institutions.

As for "Start collecting tokens today," well, that's quite ironic given what unfolded with blockchain and crypto tokens. It goes to show how aware we need to be of signs around us – they can often point towards larger shifts happening beneath the surface.

Keep your eyes peeled and always question. That’s how you spot trends before they become obvious to everyone else.
