On Monday (3 January 2022), Bitcoin is celebrating the 13th aniversary of the mining of the genesis block (i.e. block 0 of the Bitcoin network) by Bitcoin’s psenodymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
Here are a few reactions from the crypto community:
The bitcoin network launched exactly 13 years ago today.
On this day in 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first bitcoin block and changed the world.
Happy birthday, Bitcoin.

13 years ago, few could have imagined that #Bitcoin would be sitting on corporate balance sheets, have status as legal tender in El Salvador, and become a key component of sovereign bond issuances. Happy Birthday Bitcoin! You’ve come a long way. ??
