Title: Block #2 of Bitcoin Blockchain had a message for all of us
Post by: ImThour on July 12, 2021, 10:41:36 PM
Yes, you read the topic right.

Block #2 of BTC Blockchain: https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/000000006a625f06636b8bb6ac7b960a8d03705d1ace08b1a19da3fdcc99ddbd
Address that received 50 BTC: 1HLoD9E4SDFFPDiYfNYnkBLQ85Y51J3Zb1

The technology gave us a sign/message in January 09, 2009 to HODL!
Not sure if someone noticed this earlier, I find it really interesting.

Earlier blocks didn't specify addresses for the coinbase rewards. It is definitely unintentional and you shouldn't read too much into it.

It is also the wrong permutation.

The block was mined in 2009, way before the famous I AM HODLING (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0) post that came into existence in 2013 giving birth to a new Bitcoin jargon afterwards as bitcoin became popular.

I don't think anyone thought of "HODL" before 2013. Probably just a chance that the address with some characters almost similar to HODL was generated

Not sure why people are not understanding that I am not doing a serious discussion. (FACEPALM)

Because this forum is full of people who want to prove their devotion to Bitcoin and post all sorts of ridiculous things, so you have to assume that everyone is serious here. Next time try to add some winky face or an "/s" or anything that would hint that you are making a joke.

Sarcasm isn't well conveyed through an internet post. Many a times, I thought people were just joking but they in actual fact weren't. I'm really not kidding, just go through a few threads in this board and you'll understand what I mean.

Worst part is, some people would actually take these posts seriously. Better to have some clarity before the spammers come and spam the thread up with nonsensical posts that makes a big hoo-hah out of a joke.
