Event
The preservation of The Times headline inside the Genesis coinbase, and its banking context.
Verified: The full coinbase line is visible in the source code. The original Times publication URL was found via the catalog, but the publisher's page body gives HTTP 403.
Interpretation boundary: This is the same block/message event as GC1; the different focus here is the newspaper context. No claim of “Satoshi's exact reason” or of a specific printing plate.
