☕ Good Morning, Bitcoin - Thursday, August 15th, 2024

On this day in 2010, Bitcoin experienced its first network downtime event due to the Value Overflow Incident (CVE-2010-5139). The bug occurred because there was no check to prevent sending excessively large values. Fortunately, Bitcoin's founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, posted a code update to fix the issue about five hours after it was discovered.
