$BTC turns 17 today.

On January 3 2009 Satoshi mined the first block.

That moment started everything.

Inside it was a Times headline about bank bailouts.

A clear message why Bitcoin was created.

After that the network stayed silent for 6 days.

Then block 1 appeared. Many think it was intentional.

The first 50 BTC can never move.

They are locked forever and still get tribute sends.

This block was written by hand.

Everything after runs on code.
