 This is the genesis block of Monero, but the strange part is the date, it's written "1970-01-01" then the first block is dated from "2014-04-18" now the question is: why the genesis block is dated from 1970 ? It's surely not an "accident", do you have an idea ? Is it a hidden message ?

 Money, bluesky? Stealing since then? It is closer to 72 i think, charts kind of lie but they do not.  
 Seems to be related to Unix time 0 ? 
 Timestamps are often given as number of seconds or milliseconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. So a timestamp of 0 gives this.
