On January 3, 2009, a person or group of people under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto launched the main Bitcoin network, mining a genesis block with 50 BTC.
Its hash contains the title of the article “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks” by the British edition of The Times.
The launch of the network was preceded by the publication of the Bitcoin white paper (October 31, 2008). The first transaction took place on January 12, 2009 – Satoshi Nakamoto sent 10 BTC to Hal Finney. Three days before that, Bitcoin software version 0.1 was published.
The identity of Nakamoto and the motives behind the creation of bitcoin still remain a mystery, which they are trying to unravel in the crypto community and beyond.
In November 2021, the first cryptocurrency updated its maximum at around $ 69,000. At the same time, miners mined 90% of the coins from the total emission of bitcoin.
Today, the weighted average BTC rate is at $ 47,000, and the capitalization of the market flagship is $ 891.8 billion.
Happy Genesis Block Day!
