🎉 Happy Genesis Block Day!
Today marks the 16th anniversary of the first cryptocurrency. On January 3, 2009, the genesis block — the starting point of the Bitcoin blockchain — was created. Satoshi Nakamoto received the first 50 BTC.
In the hash of the genesis block, Satoshi embedded a message: the headline of The Times article, "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." This was a reference to how governments handle crises by printing massive amounts of money, devaluing people's savings.
Later, the Creator stepped away, leaving the project in the hands of the community, which continues to develop Bitcoin to this day.

🇺🇸 The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has temporarily eased crypto tax calculation rules.
Digital asset holders on centralized exchanges (CeFi) are no longer required to use the FIFO (First In, First Out) method for tax reporting if they haven’t selected a preferred method, such as HIFO (Highest In, First Out) or Spec ID.
FIFO increases tax liabilities by assuming the sale of the earliest purchased assets. This decision helps prevent potential challenges for taxpayers, especially during a bull market.
