🧩 1. The message left in the Genesis block

📰 Embedded message:

"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"

This phrase is encoded in the coinbase of the Genesis block — and it is identical to the headline on the front page of the British newspaper The Times on January 3, 2009.

🔍 Meaning of this:

The exact presence of the headline indicates that Satoshi had physical or digital access to the newspaper on that very day.

The Times is a London newspaper, with national circulation in the United Kingdom.

It was not widely accessible in real-time in other regions at that time (without paid access or immediate digital access in 2009), which suggests direct access to a printed or local edition.

✅ Indication that Satoshi was in the United Kingdom — probably London, where The Times is published.
