The Genesis Block is the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain – hence the name, “Genesis”. It serves as the fundamental basis for Bitcoin’s trading system and acts as a prototype for other blocks in the blockchain. The founding of this origin block came with the initial creation of Bitcoin by its founder, Satoshi Nakamoto.
As the first block of the Bitcoin blockchain, the Genesis Block is untradeable. Unlike all the other blocks of the blockchain that contain transactions, this block does not contain any transactions nor can the tokens from this block be used in a transaction.

However, a large majority still think that it was a part of Nakamoto’s intention for writing the code the way that it is.

The Genesis Block acts as the fundamental building block for Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies. This origin block marks the initial creation of a revolutionary financial instrument that changes the entire financial landscape.
