In the winter of the 2008 financial crisis, a white paper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" emerged, with the author hidden behind the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto." No one knows who he is, but he changed everything.

On January 3, 2009, the first block was mined. From that moment on, decentralization was no longer just a theory but a code beating across the global network. This mysterious pioneer used blockchain combined with proof-of-work to solve the long-standing "double-spending problem" that had troubled cryptographers for years—giving digital assets their first true scarcity.

P2P networks, cryptographic algorithms, and distributed ledgers together formed a new trust system. No banks, no intermediaries, strangers could trade with confidence. Bitcoin was just the beginning; the door it opened triggered an explosion in the entire blockchain ecosystem—from DeFi to NFTs, from Web3 applications to industry-level trust infrastructure.

By the end of 2010, he disappeared. Leaving behind 1 million bitcoins and endless legends. But his ideas did not vanish; every block confirmation, every smart contract execution continues his vision of a decentralized world. This is the significance of the Genesis Day—commemorating the person who rewrote the rules with code, thanking him for showing us another possibility.
