This block, mined on January 3, 2009, is the first block in the Bitcoin #blockchain and contains a hidden message in its coinbase transaction:

"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."

This message is a reference to the #financial crisis of 2008 and is seen by many as a declaration of Bitcoin's independence from traditional financial systems.

#Bitcoin has come a long way in the past 15 years, and it is now a global phenomenon.
