Today marks the 15th anniversary of the Bitcoin Genesis Block. On the afternoon of January 3, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto created the first block of Bitcoin on a small server located in Helsinki, Finland—the Genesis Block, with a block height of 0. Nakamoto received the inaugural block reward of 50 bitcoins.

On January 12, 2009, the first Bitcoin transaction occurred, with Nakamoto sending 10 bitcoins to early Bitcoin developer Hal Finney. Since then, the era of cryptocurrencies, represented by Bitcoin, officially began. The birth of Bitcoin was indeed a revolutionary moment. It's remarkable how, in just 15 years, the market has grown so significantly, highlighting the potential of blockchain as the future.
