Happy 16th Birthday, Bitcoin! 🎂🟧🎉

On January 3, 2009, just a few months after publishing the Bitcoin white paper, Satoshi Nakamoto made history when he mined the Bitcoin genesis block - signing it with the message, “The Times Jan/03/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks,” officially launching the Bitcoin network and highlighting some of the financial turmoil that inspired the invention of Bitcoin.
