Question: What is the hidden message Satoshi Nakamoto embedded in the Bitcoin genesis block?
Answer: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
The answer refers to the headline for an article in the Jan. 3, 2009 edition of The [London] Times.
On one hand, it acted as proof that the genesis block was created on or after January 3rd,2009.
However, there’s a consensus on another meaning as well. The headline might indicate Bitcoin’s philosophy. It talked about the government’s failure such that the banks were to be “bailed out” again.
So, it is also understood as a comment on the instability caused by fractional reserve banking.
