HAL FINNEY (HAROLD THOMAS FINNEY II) WAS A CRYPTOGRAPHIC ACTIVIST AND CYPHERPUNK. AS AN EARLY CONTRIBUTOR AND RECIPIENT OF THE FIRST BITCOIN TRANSACTION FROM SATOSHI NAKAMOTO, FINNEY IS REGARDED AS A PREEMINENT BITCOIN PIONEER AND DEVELOPER. IN FACT, THE STORY OF BITCOIN WOULD BE INCOMPLETE IF HAL FINNEY WAS NOT MENTIONED, WITH HIS ENORMOUS CONTRIBUTION TO ITS DEVELOPMENT, WORLDWIDE RECOGNITION, AND ACCEPTANCE. ABOVE AND BEYOND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO BITCOIN, HE IS A MAN WHO BRAVELY BATTLED A DEADLY DISEASE AND CONTINUED TO WORK ON HIS PASSION UNTIL HIS LAST DAY. "The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them." HAL FINNEY
