Oct 31 is when Satoshi sent the birth announcement cards. Jan 3 is when Baby Bitcoin was born.

That's easy. It's block 0. And BTC is now 761,555 blocks old.
Bitcoin is time.

According to Snowden, it's Oct 31: https://nitter.net/Snowden/status/1587082558180835330
But to be clear, he didn't specifically mention "birthday". Only that the whitepaper was released 14 years ago.

I'm happy celebrating Bitcoin's birthday twice per annum. That's the least I can do to say thank you for changing my life.

I'm on the October 31 camp. If anything it makes it the same date as when Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis that would culminate with the separation of Church and State, just as bitcoin will, hopefully, culminate with the separation of money and State.
