Abstract generation in progress

January 11, 2009, Hal Finney posted on Twitter “Running bitcoin.” Behind this brief message is Hal Finney, who became the recipient of the first-ever Bitcoin transaction: just one day later, Satoshi Nakamoto directly sent him 10 BTC. Although there is intense debate about Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity, one fact is undisputed: without Hal Finney, Bitcoin might have remained just a little-known white paper, rather than the financial revolution we know today. Additionally, the timing of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) coincides with the 15th anniversary of Finney’s historic tweet, on January 11, 2024.
