NEED TO KNOW?
The first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, known as the Genesis block, contains a hidden message in its code.
This message is the headline of a British newspaper, 'The Times,' from January 3, 2009, which reads: “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
This message is interpreted as a critique of the traditional financial system and a statement of intent about the need for a decentralized alternative like Bitcoin.
