The first satoshi (the smallest unit of a bitcoin) of each halving, which happens after 210,000 blocks, or approximately every four years, is known as the 'epic sat'. There are only roughly 32 epic sats in all, making each one unique and noteworthy. There are just four spectacular epic sats on the market right now, which makes each of them hold unique historical significance and scarcity within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
