 The genesis (first) block of the #Bitcoin blockchain contains a message: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"

This is a headline from the London Times following the 2007-08 financial crisis.

The genesis block is believed to have been mined on January 3rd, 2009 (as indicated in the message) or shortly after.
