đ Bitcoin Turns 17. The Legend Lives.
đ On January 3, 2009, the Genesis Block was mined and the Bitcoin network officially launched.
Since that moment, BTC has taken a path few believed was possible:
đ Growth â ~8.6 billion %.
đ§© Inside the hash of the first block, Satoshi Nakamoto left a hidden message â a headline from The Times dated January 3, 2009:
âChancellor on brink of second bailout for banksâ
đ For some, itâs a clear criticism of the modern banking system.
đ For others, it marks the birth of a new financial era.
The true meaning remains unknown.
đ€ Satoshi Nakamoto is estimated to own around 1 million BTC â and has never moved a single coin.
His identity is still a mystery.
đ§ The code lives.
â The network runs.
đ„ The legend continues.
Letâs celebrate $BTC . And its creator.
