Hal Finney was not just a developer; he was the first person to run Bitcoin after Satoshi Nakamoto in January 2009. Just two days later, he received the first-ever bitcoin transaction of 10 bitcoins from Satoshi. His expertise in cryptography and his early bug fixes were crucial to Bitcoin's early stability. Despite his battle with ALS, Hal's passion for Bitcoin never waned, and his advocacy played a vital role in shaping the community and the protocol's foundational years.

Fran Finney has been a dedicated supporter of Bitcoin, honoring her late husband Hal's legacy. Since his passing, she has actively engaged with the Bitcoin community, notably through initiatives like the Running Bitcoin Challenge, which raises awareness and funds for ALS research. Her unwavering commitment to finding a cure for this harsh and challenging disease is deeply inspiring.

We are extremely grateful for Fran's participation in this auction. By adding her signature to these iconic Hal Finney cards, she has transformed them into truly special and valuable mementos.
