The Tale of Block 895314: The Journey of the Miners
Once upon a time, in the land of Bitcoin, there lived a bustling community of digital explorers known as miners. They were the brave navigators of a vast treasure map, seeking shiny coins hidden in blocks. One day, they stumbled upon a particularly interesting treasure chest — Block 895314.
The Mighty Miner, AntPool
In this adventure, AntPool, a well-known miner, found the key to unlock Block 895314.
