Bitcoin mining pool ViaBTC launches auction of rare Epic Sats from halving blocks

The Bitcoin mining pool ViaBTC successfully mined the 840,000th block, which is the halving block. The first satoshi mined in the first block of each halving period is called an epic rare satoshi, as it has potential collectible value through the Ordinals protocol. ViaBTC initiated the Epic Sats auction for this rare satoshi, with bids in the form of Bitcoin starting at 1 BTC and currently at a highest bid of 2 BTC (approximately $130,000). So far, there have only been 10 bids and the auction will end on April 25th at 22:00 Beijing time.
