From an architectural perspective, the first component defines the system's rules. This is the case with the genesis block. It was not designed solely to initiate a computational process, but to establish a technical and ethical precedent that would shape the future structure of the network.
In this sense, the genesis block can be understood as:
A foundational act that establishes the economic and technical logic of the system.
A symbolic boundary between the traditional financial model and the decentralized alternative.
A codified manifesto that excludes immediate profit, highlighting its foundational and ethical role.
