On January 12th, 2009, just two days after Hal Finney tweeted “Running bitcoin,” Satoshi Nakamoto sent him 10 BTC in block 170; the first peer-to-peer Bitcoin transaction in history.

Before that, every block was coinbase rewards to miners. This was the moment Bitcoin became money.

Forever on the ledger. Forever in our hearts.

🏃‍♂️ To honour Hal, join the #RunningBitcoinChallenge and put in the proof-of-work with us.
