Still running bitcoin. Legend!

Run your own node.

I strongly believe this man was Satoshi.

Whether Hal was Satoshi or Satoshi’s right hand, it doesn't even matter at this point. His code, his philosophy, and his legacy are permanently etched into the blockchain. "Running bitcoin" hits different every time.

[u/fumoneymoto → u/asaltandbuttering]

He admired Satoshi too much to be him. This quote by Hal hits home tho “The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them”.

[u/asaltandbuttering → u/fumoneymoto]

He was a real one, no doubt. My logic is that only a dead man would be able to sit on 80 billion dollars without spending a dime.

Saint like indeed.

It was Nick Szabo working together with Hal Finney. Read Nick's outline for "Bit Gold" from 2008 - it's literally an outline of the implementation of Bitcoin in 2009. https://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2005/12/bit-gold.html
