These are the most important dates that everyone interesting in the field of blockchain and bitcoins should know about:

1. October 31st, 2008: Bitcoin whitepaper

This was the day Satoshi Nakamoto published a scientific paper that started the whole bitcoin movement.

2. January 3rd, 2009: The Genesis block

The genesis block is the first published block in the blockchain. The block contained the text *"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."*

The hash of the block is "000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f", which contains more leaading zeros (for uknown reasons) than required for that date.
