Remember this milestone? Exactly 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto mined Bitcoin's genesis block—a moment that kicked off the entire cryptocurrency revolution. The initial block reward? 50 $BTC. Here's the fascinating part: those coins have never been spent and likely never will be. They sit there as a permanent marker of Bitcoin's origin, untouched and untouchable. It's one of those details that reminds us just how long this journey has been, and how far we've come from that first block to where the market stands today.

Then 50 Bitcoins are like ghosts... always visible but intangible, which is a bit eerie.

It's been 17 years, huh? Leaving those 50 BTC just sitting there is really just a symbol.

What if those 50 BTC suddenly move? Wouldn't it trigger a market earthquake... Truly incredible.

It's been 17 years, and those 50 BTC are still sleeping in the cold wallet. What does that mean? It means Satoshi is really a hands-off boss, haha.

It's been 17 years and still not moved. How much willpower does this guy have... or maybe he already forgot his wallet password haha

It's been 17 years, and those 50 BTC have just been sitting there. I can't understand why Satoshi hasn't moved them... Is it really just pure faith?
