January 3rd is World Blockchain Day

Why?

We think Blockchain deserves to be recognized on its own. We chose January 3rd because on January 3rd, 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, also known as Block 0 or the Genesis block. After having released the Bitcoin whitepaper a couple months prior, the mining of the first block marked the dawn of a new era: The age of Blockchain.

Blockchain is the 2nd generation of the Internet. For decades, we’ve had the Internet of Information. Now we’re getting the Internet of Value, powered by Blockchain. Blockchain will help us reshape the world of business and transform the old order of human affairs for the better.

How to celebrate World Blockchain Day?
