Satoshi Nakamoto embedded a message in Bitcoin's Genesis Block

The message was "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."

Raw Block Data

This was the headline of an article in The Times a British newspaper. The headline was from January 3rd 2009. I feel as if Satoshi was making a statement about the flaws in the traditional financial systems that Bitcoin addresses.

Block 0 aka The Genisis Block was mined on January 03, 2009 01:15:05.

Something quite interesting about The Genesis Block is that the 50 Bitcoin that were mined and sent to Satoshi's wallet 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa in block 0 were unspendable.
