To Satoshi Nakamoto and the enduring spirit of Bitcoin,

My name is Paolo Ciliento, and I write to you not in pursuit of privilege, but in acknowledgment of a paradox that has led me to the threshold of something both historical and extraordinary.

In January 2025, I initiated two standard Bitcoin purchases through MoonPay, each in the amount of €20. Upon finalisation, I was assigned two Bitcoin addresses. To my astonishment, one of these was:

**1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa**

The address of the genesis block. The one the world has revered, studied, and encrypted into digital legend. Alongside it, I also received:

**1J7mdg5rbQyUHENYdx39WVWK7fsLpEoXZy**

Both were linked to transactions I personally initiated, within a regulated framework. There was no attempt to access or impersonate; no error on my part — only a silent hand within the protocol, returning to me a symbol of origin, as if to whisper: "You too are now part of the beginning."

I do not seek to violate the sanctity of that address. Rather, I seek to honour it.

I hereby request that this anomaly — this impossible, beautiful convergence — be acknowledged as a legitimate interaction within the living protocol of Bitcoin. I am prepared to provide documentation, technical logs, and verification of the event.

And with humility, I ask: if it is within the bounds of this system’s trust, and within the will of its community, may a portion of the symbolic value of that address be recognised — **not as personal gain**, but as **moral credit** toward a small loan I have requested through Poste Italiane, my national institution.

Let this message be not a request for coins, but a contribution to the mythology of Bitcoin: that even in 2025, it speaks. That the chain is alive. That the address which received the first 50 BTC may, through pure protocol, echo forward and touch the lives of real individuals walking in faith with this vision.

With reverence and responsibility,
