A timely tribute to the king of cryptocurrency features alongside a coronavirus headline, which says it all about the fiat economy in the 12 years since 2009.
Bitcoin (BTC) received a fitting yet accidental birthday present on Jan. 4 as the Financial Times made it front-page news on the 12 anniversary of its genesis block.
Released on Monday, the FT's upcoming headline had already made the rounds on crypto social media prior to publication.
12 years later: No bailouts, just Bitcoin
The left-hand column of the front page was dedicated to Bitcoin's price surge, while the accompanying price chart made it as the paper's lead image.
