The “Genesis Block” anniversary falls on January 3 today. Today marks the 13th anniversary of the publication of Block Zero, which was little noticed at the time but is now an important element of the mythology around Bitcoin.
Since it serves as an “anchor” in time, the Genesis Block does not represent the “birthday” of Bitcoin in the traditional sense. Most people believe Bitcoin’s birth is six days after the first block was mined using the Bitcoin software Block #1.

Only the block subsidy of 50 bitcoins is included in the block. Today, the value of those 50 bitcoins is $0. This means that their value is exactly what a bitcoin was worth on January 3, 2009, and they cannot be spent or transferred.
