// RARE_SATS

> every sat that isn't something else

The fungible default. The grain of sand on the digital beach.

Most sats are common. They keep the network liquid. Without them, nothing moves. Respect the base.

> first sat of every block

The opening byte of every block reward. A timestamp made tangible.

Every block leaves an Uncommon in its wake — the first sat to enter circulation under that block's hash. Cheap on their own. Loaded as a canvas.

> first sat of every difficulty adjustment (~2 weeks)

The sat that opens a new difficulty epoch. Bitcoin's heartbeat, captured.

Difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks. Each adjustment births exactly one Rare sat. Roughly 26 a year. Catch one and you're holding the moment the network re-tuned itself.

> first sat after every halving (~4 years)

Born of scarcity. The first sat issued at a new emission rate.

Only 33 will ever exist. Block 840,000 produced one. It sold for 33.3 BTC. The market has spoken — these are post-halving relics, not coins.

> first sat of every cycle (every 24 years)

Once in a generation. A sat from the convergence of halving and difficulty.

Bitcoin cycles align halvings and difficulty adjustments every six halvings — once per ~24 years. Five Legendary sats in the entire monetary timeline. None will be minted in your lifetime that haven't already existed.

> the first sat of the genesis block

The Genesis sat. Sat #0. Mined by Satoshi. Permanently unspendable.

There is one. There will only ever be one. It sits in the coinbase of block 0, locked forever by the protocol. The Mythic does not move. It anchors everything.

Sats from blocks mined by Satoshi Nakamoto himself.

Patoshi pattern blocks — the early CPU days when one miner accounted for nearly all hashrate. These sats were touched by the founder. They have not moved. They likely never will. Holding one is holding a fragment of the source.

Sats from blocks mined by Hal Finney — Bitcoin's first believer.

Hal received the first ever Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi. He was the second node. He believed when belief cost everything. These sats carry his signal.

> block #78, January 11, 2009

The first block mined by someone other than Satoshi. That someone was Hal Finney.

Block 78 is the moment Bitcoin became more than one person's project. It's the first proof that the network would survive its creator. Every sat from this block is a fragment of that handover.

> block #170, January 12, 2009

Sats from the first ever Bitcoin transaction — Satoshi → Hal Finney.

10 BTC sent as a test. The first time value moved on the network. Without this transaction, Bitcoin would have been an idea on a mailing list. With it, it became money.

> May 22, 2010

Sats from the 10,000 BTC Laszlo Hanyecz spent on two Papa John's pizzas.

The first commercial Bitcoin transaction. ~$41 in 2010. ~$1B at peak. Every Pizza sat carries that absurd, glorious moment when crypto crossed into the real economy. Long live Bitcoin. Long live pizza.
