Back on January 11, 2009, Hal Finney quietly started running Bitcoin—a moment that would later become iconic in crypto history. Long before mainstream attention turned to the blockchain revolution, the network was already alive and functioning. The simplicity of that message masked something profound: the beginning of a decentralized system that would reshape finance forever. What seemed unremarkable at the time now stands as one of the earliest documented moments of Bitcoin in active use, a testament to those early believers who were building the future without waiting for the world to catch up.

Really, Hal Finney was running nodes back then, and we're still debating when to enter the market. LOL

Wow, Hal Finney is really a prophet. He started running nodes in 2009, back when nobody was paying attention to Bitcoin.

I'm so jealous of Hal Finney. How much would the coins mined back then be worth now...
