Today marks the 17th anniversary of Hal Finney's famous Bitcoin tweet "Running bitcoin"
BlockBeats News, January 11, 2009, Hal Finney posted on the Twitter platform "Running bitcoin." Behind this short message was Hal Finney, who became the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction in history: just a day later, Satoshi Nakamoto sent him 10 BTC directly.
While the debate about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity is fierce, one fact is undisputed: without Hal Finney, Bitcoin might have remained just an obscure whitepaper rather than the financial revolution we know today.
Furthermore, the approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of the first Bitcoin futures exchange-traded fund (ETF) coincided with the timing of Finney's historic tweet 15 years later, on January 11, 2024.
