It's January 3rd again. On this day in 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto successfully mined the Bitcoin Genesis Block, officially igniting this global financial experiment. In the blink of an eye, 17 years have passed.
What is special about this Genesis Block? It is not just a data block. Its hardcoded design makes it permanently verifiable, meaning anyone, at any time, can trace back to Bitcoin's original state. Starting from this block, Bitcoin's ledger began to operate, and the network was officially launched.
From a single block to today's global distributed ledger, the path Bitcoin has taken has changed people's understanding of the nature of money, trust mechanisms, and financial freedom. No longer relying on intermediaries or a single authority—this idea seemed somewhat fanciful in 2009, but now it has profoundly influenced the entire industry ecosystem.
Interestingly, many people may still not know what January 3rd means for Bitcoin. It is not just a date but the starting point of an ongoing revolution. The story is far from over.
