17 years ago today, Hal Finney launched the Bitcoin client, becoming one of the earliest practitioners of this network. As an early core developer of Bitcoin, Finney made an indelible contribution to the birth and early evolution of the project. He was not only the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction but also one of the earliest individuals outside of Satoshi Nakamoto to understand and actively promote the development of Bitcoin technology. This moment marks an important leap from theory to practice and is a key milestone in the history of cryptocurrency development.

Harfini is really a legend. If he hadn't dared to run this client back then, Bitcoin probably would have faded away early.

Hal Finney is truly an underrated figure in Bitcoin history. I've never seen such an early participant in development be so low-key.

Brother Finney was really hardcore. Back in those days, he dared to play with this stuff, and the stories that followed are quite bittersweet...

The Finney generation is truly remarkable. Being able to understand the logic of Bitcoin so early on, only now do we realize how far ahead their vision was.
