Isn't the genesis block the first block? I guess you were referring to #1 block which is the 2nd block of bitcoin blockchain. Genesis block = 0 doesn't mean that it's not the first block. As you can see the definition here-Quote
Genesis Block is the name of the first block of Bitcoin ever mined.
Source- InvestopediaOK.. so that would mean that Bitcoin was first mined on 3rd January 2009? Block number 0 is having a timestamp of 2009-01-03 23:45. And the next block (Block #1) is having a timestamp of 2009-01-09 08:24.
So the OP is indeed correct and we celebrated the 12th birthday of Bitcoin on 3rd January. @rdbase, you were wrong mate. BTW, even I was confused for a while. I was thinking that Block #1 was the first block that was mined.
This is a historic day and in the long run, Bitcoin has solidified its position around the world. Although 12 years is a long time, the way in which the value of bitcoin has risen has become a real surprise. An analysis of the current value of Bitcoin and its initial value shows how popular it has become. At the beginning of the Bitcoin journey, it was really hard to imagine that Bitcoin would become so popular over time, and it would be a difficult task to make an accurate estimate of its popularity and value in the future, and at the present time. Congratulations and best wishes for the future of Bitcoin to its users.
Can't even imagine how days passed that too 12years, if you look back after a decade BTC is nothing I mean people were busy spreading it as a scam and now it turned out to be a hot topic. Even I was not aware of BTC at that moment and I didn't trusted it i want to thank my loyal friend who forced me to invest in this and now I have been addicted to it. Heaven days really wont come back 
I believe the genesis block was only launched 12 years ago, whoever Satoshi was/is he probably might have seen the future years before he decided to bake such a precious gem which has resharpen the whole of modern world technology. banking, economy and the job industry. Happy birthday BTC
Bitcoin is the fundamental bedrock upon which emerging technologies are building on.

So it has been 12 long years that bitcoin has existed and reigned on top unfailingly in the crypto world. Imagine how low the valueless bitcoin was before and its astonishing value right now. Only if we were able to predict that bitcoin would be this big, we're surely millionaires or billionaires already right now. Let us keep on supporting it and make sure we analyze its price each time we are investing. Happy birthday bitcoin and more profits to come!
Yeah Right. It is so exciting to think that bitcoin might reached another milestones or new achievements on its availability and existence. Bitcoin experience a lot of different kinds of ups and down as well as it puts in a lot of difficult situations yet it able to overcome each of it and became one of the best coin in the market. 12 years of existence means of 12 year long of risky ride but definitely worth it time of earnings. I think this 12th year of bitcoin proves that it will still reign in the next months or years and definitely become one of the greatest or even best. Congrats Bitcoin!
On 3rd January 2009, the bitcoin network came in to existence with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the genesis block of bitcoin (Block Number 0) which had a reward of 50 BTC. It started trading from around $0.0008 and today is worth $33000+

Really i am fully surprised with this picture and graph also. Now i am in broken mind that why i did now know about btc at early stage and also why i have seen BTC in 2017 when BTC rate was 19k$. Know body knows where it will go in near future but as a btc lover i wish for better days of BTC in future.
thanks.
Happy Birthday Bitcoin I look forward to your Teenage Years
lol! don't we all
and i wonder what btc will be when it reaches teenage years, at 12 years btc already breaking world record with its outstanding performance, this child is indeed a very brilliant child and am sure its parents are extremely proud of it
Happy birthday young btc, i hope you grow into adulthood some day.
Who would have thought that the once trading at $0.0008 would turn into a $33k+ currency after 12 years? I remember reading a story about a certain office people exchanging Bitcoin as gifts, and faucets giving away a whole BTC and yet no one is minding them because of the current value of BTC during those times. Anyway, it's been a successful 12 years for BTC and I hope the uptrend continues! More adoption and a bigger community to come. I hope the governments will welcome you with open arms this time.

Oh wow! So today is the exact date of bitcoin coming to existence. That explains the notification I got from Twitter with such greeting. For three years I've been here but I just knew that like right now. Made me realize that I really have lots to learn.
Anyway, happy birthday bitcoin! All thanks to Satoshi Nakamoto. Kudos!

Happy birthday, Bitcoin! Created by its anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, BTC has had tremendous success since then and continues to record. Over these years, the cryptocurrency has ceased to be hype. Finally, people are accepting Bitcoin as a store of value and a means of payment. It has transformed from a risky tool preferred only by marginal investors to a safe investment tool preferred by world-renowned multinational technology companies.
Look at how high Bitcoin have reached in just 12 years.
Nobody would have expected before that Bitcoin would become a big hit in the future, and Satoshi Nakamoto left with no trace as If he already knew Bitcoin will become successful.
Today, Bitcoin is trading at $30,000+ and we're still at the early phase of Bitcoin's popularity and adoption.
Im pretty sure, Bitcoin will be in a 6 digit figure before reaching the 20th year.

Happy birthday bitcoin. Twitter is also full of messages where people talking about the bitcoin and the birthday. During all these 12 years, we saw many good or bad news sometimes we got profit sometimes not. Here I would like to say congrats to the bitcoin believers whom invested on this project during all these years. Now, we can see even the great Warren Buffet can make mistake when he said bitcoin has no value now it's going to reach 40K next.
