<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I would love to see the satifisfying smile on Hal Finney’s face as „his“ Bitcoin is paving its way to become an accredited and established financial network as well as storage of wealth.</p> <p>Dear Hal, your Bitcoin just cracked the $34k barrier! You and your friends have kicked off a fukcing revolution back in 2009. Sadly, in 2014 you <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-pioneer-hal-finney-passes-away">passed away</a> far too early due to your ALS disease ? You never witnessed how big and strong your baby actually got. </p> <p>Today is the 12th birthday of Bitcoin. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Finney_(computer_scientist">Hal Finney</a>) was the <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/satoshi-nakamoto-hal-finney-emails">receiver of the first BTC transcation</a>, sent by Satoshi Nakamoto on January 12th, 2009.</p> <p>Many community fellows, including myself, are advocates of the theory that Satoshi Nakamoto actually sent that very first Bitcoin transaction to <em>himself</em>. Hal Finney and Satoshi Nakamoto <em>might</em> be one and the same person (<a href="https://hedgetrade.com/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto/">Source</a>).</p> <p>Anyways, no matter if he really is Satoshi or not, I would like to say thank you to a wonderful and great human, whose achievements and engagements can’t be appreciated enough ✨</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/nicoznico"> /u/nicoznico </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kpkw9h/the_man_who_received_the_first_btc_transaction/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/kpkw9h/the_man_who_received_the_first_btc_transaction/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
