Hal Finney (Bitcoin: A Visual History 01-02-B)
One of the most important early contributors to the Bitcoin project was Hal Finney (1956-2014). Finney was the quintessential cypherpunk, and famously wrote “the computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them.”
Finney received the very first Bitcoin transaction, directly from Satoshi Nakamoto, just 3 days after the genesis block went live.
His remains have been cryopreserved by Alcor Foundation in Phoenix, Arizona.
This NFT is the limited edition static version of "Hal Finney."
About the Series
"Bitcoin: A Visual History" is a series of 21 illustrations and cinemagraphs commemorating remarkable people and landmark events throughout Bitcoin history. BVH is divided into 3 series of 7 illustrations each, with Series 1 dropping in late August 2020. Series 2 and Series 3 are scheduled to drop in the last quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, respectively.
Each illustration in BVH interlocks with the illustration immediately preceding it, and once completed, all three sets will form one massive unbroken chain of interconnecting illustrations.
Each segment will be available as a 1-of-1 ultra-rare cinemagraph, or as a 10-of-10 limited edition illustration.
This series was created by CRYPTOPOP! with the support of WavesWorld.io.
