But that paper does have a great historic event on the cover.
"Pub lowers cost of a pint to 99p down from £1.69"
Now that's big news!
Only joking, im jealous.
Nice paper nubbins, what's with the with sticker on the cover?
Topic: [Interest check] Satoshi's Genesis Block newspaper - page 2. (Read 2425 times)
I've been looking for a copy of the full original paper, not a re-print.
This is the full original. There's a minor tear on the back page (nothing missing), and it's the Scotland edition.
...SCOTLAND EDITION?!
Yep. Extra valuable if it turns out Satoshi wears a kilt
I couldn't read the certificate in this thread but found: https://i.imgur.com/5s3f3rz.jpg and was able to read it, very cool! I'm going to contact paperspast to see if they have more but I suspect they are out..
Yep, I contacted them looking for info on the certificate. They don't have any more copies, were slightly confused by all the requests they'd been getting, and wouldn't tell me too much about the certificate except that it came from them.

I think im blind, but, how did this paper ended up so expansive?
Is it because its old newspaper or because it has interesting news on it

The coin base parameter on the bitcoin genesis block (block 0) contain this string:
5468652054696d65732030332f4a616e2f32303039204368616e63656c6c6f72206f6e206272696 e6b206f66207365636f6e64206261696c6
Which translate into:
"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
When Satoshi forged the Genesis block he made this to link the date to a real world physical item, the New York times headline for the 2009-01-03.
Im not really following international news sorry
This is also the reason why the newspaper is rare, there was no big international event that day.
But for bitcoiners is this ofcause a very very very very important date, and that is why some collectors are willing to pay big bucks for this news paper.
One correction, that's The Times (UK newspaper) not The New York Times.

How did you get this for .26 ?!?!
Same one. Deal of a lifetime
Could not agree more, very well done.
This piece belong on a museum.
Same one. Deal of a lifetime
Nice item
Is this the same one you snipped for 0.26 BTC one year ago?
Or do you have more of them?

(decoded) �� EThe Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks
Not necessarily for sale, but figured I'd see if there's any interest out there. Was planning to hold this long-term.
This paper is EXTREMELY hard to come by. Garages and attics all over the world are filled with newspapers depicting historic events (man walks on moon! elvis dead! etc), but this particular copy of The Times was completely unremarkable the day it was published, and most of the edition likely ended up in landfills. Super hard to find, and therefore super hard to price. Charlie Shrem talked about selling one of these for 8-10btc at a conference, but I can't find any solid info beyond that.
