This message was left by Satoshi Nakamoto in the genesis block, embedded in a script in the input of the very first Bitcoin transaction. It is both a nod to the limitation of fiat currency and the financial crisis as well as a demonstration of the undocumented use of a coinbase message. The message contents are taken from the headline in the Jan, 3rd, 2009 British newspaper, "The Times." This suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto may have lived in the United Kingdom.
