This year, it's been 12 years since bitcoin was born: 10 BTC were transferred from one person to another. Today, even with the devaluation, it would be "only" 350,000 dollars. (Would you risk losing that money on a network failure?)Satoshi Nakamoto sent 10 BTC to Hal Finney - NAkamoto? -.The first currency network actually worked. This transfer took place a week after Nakamoto started operating the Bitcoin network on his computer system.Finney-Nakamoto, an expert in advanced cryptographic systems, was enthusiastic about the idea of ??securely transporting digital values.Finney's testimony to the Bitcointalk forum in 2013 defined:" I was more idealistic; I always loved crypto, its mystery and its paradox.When Satoshi announced Bitcoin on the encryption mailing list, the reception was, at best, skeptical. Cryptographers had seen many schemes by naive novices. They tend to have a reflection.I was more positive. I have always been interested in cryptographic payment schemes.Also, I was lucky enough to meet and correspond with Wei Dai and Nick Szabo, generally known to have come up with ideas that would then be realized with Bitcoin.I tried to create my own proof-of-work coin called RPOW. So I found bitcoin fascinating.When Satoshi announced the first version of the software, I jumped at the opportunity immediately. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run the Bitcoin network.I mined block 70 and something and was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent me ten coins as a test.I continued talking to Satoshi for the next few days, mostly reporting failures so he could fix them.One of the most intriguing ideas behind the world's most famous cryptocurrency is the fact that no one really knows who invented Bitcoin, and speculation continues to this day (Image: Crypto Times)Today, Satoshi's true identity has become a mystery. However, at the time, I thought I was dealing with a young man of Japanese descent who was very intelligent and sincere.I've been lucky enough to meet a lot of brilliant people throughout my life, so I recognize the signs.After a few days, [the] Bitcoin network was operating stably, so I continued operating. This was the time when the difficulty was 1 and you could find blocks with a CPU [central processing unit] rather than a GPU [graphics processing unit].I mined several blocks over the next few days. However, I turned it off because my computer was overheating and the fan noise bothered me.Looking back, I would have liked to have left it on longer, but on the other hand, I was extremely lucky to be there in the beginning. It was one of those “glass half full, half empty” situations.The next time I heard about bitcoin was in late 2020, when I was surprised to find that not only was it operating, but bitcoins actually had monetary value.I grabbed my old wallet and was relieved that my bitcoins were still there. As the price went up, I transferred the coins to an offline wallet where, luckily, they will be worth something to my heirs."Sometimes luck smiles too!He got excited, in 2009, when he relativized bitcoin to a real-world currency.Finney is also known for being the first person in the world to tweet about bitcoin. Just stated: "running bitcoin".Twelve years later, the network is still going strong.He died in 2014 of a rare disease - rumors tell of an aggressive and hidden cancer.Looking at other stories of other geniuses in the world, it is seen, almost always, that these people die young, as if they had fulfilled their mission in the world.Were it not for Finney-Nakamoto's implements and algorithms, and Satichi's wit, today all these investors would somehow be in the hands of banks.Bitcoin, as well as cryptocurrencies, owes much of what they are today to Finney and its block cryptography structure."I mined block 70," says Finney.Today, I wouldn't do it!But the lives he changed and the dreams he helped to achieve are bigger than block 70 and the inheritance for his heirs is bigger than money: it's a position in history!Simple story for simple morals: humility and simplicity are almost always what it takes to change the world!
