Methodology The claim is confirmed. Data, including text, can be permanently embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain, for instance, through the Genesis Block message or using the OP_RETURN opcode. Full Bitcoin nodes store a complete copy of the entire blockchain, meaning they host all embedded data, including headlines and messages, which are 'encoded forever' due to the immutability of the blockchain.

Transcript excerpt English

ote, a philosophical statement, a signature, literally anything. And instead, he chose a newspaper headline about bank bailouts, which means Bitcoin's birth certificate, the actual founding document of the entire system, is by design a permanent middle finger pointed directly at the central banking system. It is not subtle. It is not metaphorical. It is right there encoded forever, and anyone who runs a Bitcoin node anywhere in the world is technically hosting a copy of that headline. It is the most successful piece of protest art in human history.

"Today, at current prices, that pile of coins is worth somewhere over a hundred billion dollar. It would make Satoshi one of the wealthiest people on the planet. And those coins are sitting in known Bitcoin addresses on the public blockchain, traceable by literally anyone. And in 15 years, not a single one has ever moved. Not one. "

"Because inside that Genesis block, Satoshi embedded a message. Not in the protocol, not in a comment. He put it inside what's called the Coinbase parameter of the first transaction, which is a field where the miner can put arbitrary data. And the data he put there that has been preserved forever in the immutable record of every Bitcoin node on Earth read exactly this quote. The Times 03 January 2009, Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks. "

"And 17 years later, the protocol still runs. The supply schedule has held exactly as designed. The cap of 21 million coins remains absolutely intact. Block zero still sits there with the Times headline embedded inside it, immutable on every node on Earth. The 50 coins from that first block still sit there too, permanently frozen. And this hundred billion dollars still sits untouched and addresses everyone can see and no one can move. "

"And then on April 23rd of 2011, sent his final known email to a developer named Mike Hearn. And the email said, and I'm quoting directly, I've moved on to other things. It's in good hands with Gavin and everyone. And then he disappeared. He hasn't spoken since. Not once. "
