No, Today Is Not Bitcoin’s Birthday

This article explains that while Bitcoin was first proposed through Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper on October 31, 2008, its official birthday is considered to be January 3rd. This is because on January 3, 2009, Bitcoin's blockchain was launched and 50 newly generated coins were issued to Satoshi Nakamoto's public key. The article emphasizes that just like one celebrates their birthday on the day they were born, Bitcoin's birthday is celebrated on January 3rd, not October 31st.
