Where Bitcoin goes...so will the rest of the market (At least for now)
Bitcoin Genesis Block - Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin Whitepaper "Bitcoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System". A few months later, the first bitcoin transaction took place.
The Bitcoin Genesis Block contains this message (taken from the front page of Times of London): "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
