#比特币问世17周年 Bitcoin 17th Anniversary: The Genesis Block Contains a Challenge to Financial Power, Still Questioning the World Today!
On January 3, 2026, Bitcoin celebrates its 17th anniversary since the creation of the Genesis Block. However, its origin was not a transaction but a newspaper headline embedded in the block.
Rewinding to January 3, 2009, when the Bitcoin Genesis Block was mined, it contained a line from The Times: “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” At a time when the global financial system was on the brink of chaos, Satoshi Nakamoto did not leave any other declarat

Bitcoin network completes 17 years!
17 years ago, the anonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto executed the first transaction on the network, transferring 50 BTC to programmer Hal Finney.
17 years in the history of time, and it's nothing.
But during that time, Bitcoin transformed from a simple experiment into an economic system that rivals the global monetary system.

CZ: This is just the beginning! CZ has always emphasized that we haven't even covered one-tenth of the journey. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies has remained at 3 trillion for four years without growth, while gold and US stocks have increased by 50 trillion over the same period. Recently, trading volume has been sluggish, which is a necessary condition for a rise because altcoins are the soul and foundation of the crypto world! The liquidity of Bitcoin bulls has been fully cleared, and the market cap of altcoins outside the top 30 is at a 10-year low. Gold has basically peak

#Bitcoin17thAnniversary
The Epic of 17 Years
✨In a dark digital age, as the heart of the financial system was shaken by crisis, a mysterious figure emerged. Satoshi Nakamoto, whose identity remains shrouded in secrecy, mined the world's first Bitcoin block – the Genesis Block – on January 3, 2009.

Deep within that block, a message was embedded:
"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
– "The Chancellor of the Exchequer is on the verge of a second bailout for banks."
This wasn't a random newsp
