Exactly 14 years ago, at the height of the financial crisis on January 3, 2009, a genesis block, Bitcoin, was created with 50 bitcoins generated.

Its hash partly consists of the text "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks".

This is the title of an article in the British edition of The Times. The article was about how Britain's finance minister, Alistair Darling, is forced to consider new measures to bail out the banks in the context of the economic crisis.
