🪙 Today is Bitcoin's birthday – the world's leading cryptocurrency turns 16 years old! 🟠



On January 3, 2009, exactly 16 years ago, the first Genesis Block was created on the Bitcoin network, containing the first 50 BTC 🥳 This marks the official birth of the Bitcoin blockchain.

The Genesis Block is the first (zero) block of the blockchain. It’s a special case because it doesn’t reference any previous block. The Genesis Block contains a dated headline from The Times newspaper: *The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on the brink of the second bailout for banks.*

Just two years after its launch, Bitcoin's price hit $1.
In 2012, 1 BTC was worth $15
In 2013, it was $1,156
In 2017, it reached $20,089
In 2021, it hit $64,000
In 2024, it's projected to reach $100,000.

How are we celebrating?🕺
