FINNEYPEPE was minted on October 15, 2016. We created this collectible in honor of computer scientist and early Bitcoin developer, Hal Finney. For many crypto pioneers, Hal is a legend second only perhaps to Satoshi Nakamoto himself. In Bitcoin’s first five years, Hal contributed innumerable ‘firsts’ to the space before succumbing to ALS in 2014. We left this token undistributed for quite some time as our team searched for a way to tastefully capture his legacy. Recently, we came into possession of an authentic piece of early crypto artwork — a sketched portrait of Hal rendered in 2014 by artists at a now-defunct crypto exchange while the subject was still alive. This salvaged sketch was colorized and animated in the Pepe style, to be presented here in a fine collectible format. Whether or not you were lucky enough to know Hal when he was alive, collectors new and old are sure to appreciate the historical provenance of this tribute to one of our community's earliest champions. We have hidden a number of visual references to Hal’s work within the piece in the hope that it will encourage others to learn more about this kind, brilliant, giant of a man who did so much to make our decentralized future possible. Please note that despite this token's name, age and pedigree, this is not an official Rare Pepe card.
