Description

1HoDLCLUB partially gilt-silver Proof Loaded (Unredeemed) "The Times - Genesis" 0.021 Bitcoin (BTC) 2022 Genuine PCGS, Ahonen Unlisted. 95x75mm. Total issued: 50. Serial #26. Type: BF. Firstbits: 1GENESiSH45. Part collectible, part manifesto—and underscored by genuine scarcity—this broad silver ingot with gold accents brings all elements together in a single, compelling piece. It's the first example of its kind we've had the pleasure of handling, and we anticipate strong interest from advanced collectors when it crosses the block.

The Genesis Block, also known as Block 0, is the very first block mined on the Bitcoin blockchain by Satoshi Nakamoto on January 3, 2009, marking the birth of the Bitcoin network. Embedded within its code is a now-famous message: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks," referencing a newspaper headline that underscored Bitcoin's role as a decentralized alternative to traditional finance. Unlike all subsequent blocks, the Genesis Block contains a unique structure and reward that cannot be spent, making it both a technical foundation and a symbolic cornerstone of the cryptocurrency movement.
