A historic moment in crypto history: exactly 17 years ago, Hal Finney, one of Bitcoin's earliest pioneers, ran the very first Bitcoin node. This was a pivotal moment in the network's bootstrapping phase, when Finney's participation helped validate Satoshi Nakamoto's vision for a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. From those humble beginnings running a single node, Bitcoin has evolved into the world's largest cryptocurrency network, securing trillions in value and inspiring an entire ecosystem of blockchain innovations. Finney's early contribution remains a testament to the dedication of those who believed in Bitcoin's potential before the world caught on.
