What were you doing in 2009? Every time I open the full-chain data of BTC's URPD, I feel incredibly emotional...
timestamp: 2009/1/3 00:00; total_supply: 50 — This is the Genesis Block on 2009-01-03, where Satoshi Nakamoto mined block height 0; block reward 50 BTC; this marks the starting point of the Bitcoin network.
On 2009/1/9, Satoshi Nakamoto released Bitcoin Core v0.1 on the mailing list; from this day on, anyone who downloads the program can participate in mining. At this point, we see total_supply change to 750.
From 2009/1/10 to 1/11, Hal Finney downloaded and ran the Bitcoin program, and on 2009-01-10, he tweeted: “Running bitcoin”; this was the first time in human history that, besides Satoshi Nakamoto, a second person was mining BTC in real life. At this time, total_supply increased to 8450. The real state of early mining in 2009 was: using ordinary CPUs, difficulty ≈ 1, a single person could mine thousands of BTC in a day, with total network hash rate ≈ a few home computers. Six months later, on 2009/7/22, total_supply first surpassed 1 million! On that day, no one realized what was happening. Why do I feel emotional? Because back then, I only knew how to play "Legend," even with just a little awareness, running a thread while playing Legend and mining... Many years later, I became Legend myself.
