Just looked at the genesis block again and it's wild how much Bitcoin has evolved. That original address 1a1zp1ep5qgefi2dmptftl5slmv7divfna still holds 99.68 BTC from Satoshi's first mining reward, completely untouched after all these years. At today's BTC price around 69k, that's worth over 6.8 million dollars just sitting there. The 50 coins from the genesis block are locked forever - technically unspendable due to how the code was written. It's like a monument to the beginning of everything. Kind of crazy to think about how that wallet has watched Bitcoin go from zero to becoming a global asset class.
