  Bitcoin was publicly launched on January 3, 2009, when the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, known as the Genesis Block, was mined by the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. This marked the beginning of the Bitcoin network and the birth of the first decentralized digital currency. The Genesis Block contained a message referencing a headline from The Times newspaper, which read 'Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.' This was a clear indication of the motivation behind Bitcoin's creation, as a response to the global financial crisis and the need for a decentralized alternative to traditional banking systems.
