January 3, 2009, on a server in Finland, the Bitcoin genesis block was officially created. This is not just a technical event, but a declaration of a new philosophy.

Satoshi Nakamoto engraved the famous inscription in the genesis block, using 50 bitcoins as the first reward, igniting the first spark of the decentralized movement. He chose to remain anonymous, without asking for any reward or fame, leaving behind only a dream to revolutionize the financial order, which then disappeared into the mists of history.

Sixteen years have passed. From being ignored at first to now attracting the attention of millions worldwide, this cold code has witnessed a profound transformation. Every satoshi is a tribute to the original intention, and every transaction continues that decentralized ideal.

Today, whenever January 3 arrives, we all commemorate this world-changing innovation in our own ways.

Satoshi Nakamoto's move was really awesome; he disappeared after remaining anonymous. Now there are a bunch of people mining and trading coins there. I wonder what he would think if he saw this.

Satoshi Nakamoto's move was truly brilliant. Anonymous is anonymous, and leaving a suspense for the whole world... what a layout... --- Honestly, after 16 years, I still hold onto my original intention. I just want to know how many people still remember what decentralization means. --- Every time I see January 3rd, I wonder what would happen if Satoshi Nakamoto made a splash now... that sense of mystery is valuable. --- The technique of engraving inscriptions in the genesis block, my friend, was really an attempt to leave something for future generations. --- From 50 coins to the current scale, this story is indeed incredible, but I'm more curious if he still has those coins in his possession. --- Does code change the world? Uh... let's first see if it changes my account balance haha. --- No hype, no blackening. Satoshi Nakamoto's decision to disappear was probably even smarter than writing code.

Satoshi Nakamoto's wave is truly incredible. Remaining anonymous and retreating from the public eye can still change the world. We all tweet every day, afraid that no one will know us. Honestly, from 50 Satoshis to now, this belief has never changed... Amazing.
