WhoIsSatoshi - Candidate 2: Hal Finney ✨ Hal Finney was an American computer scientist, software developer and games designer. He was one of the first to reply to Satoshi's Bitcoin whitepaper. Did Hal Finney create Bitcoin? 🧐
Finney recognised that what Satoshi described in his whitepaper could revolutionise cryptography and alter the course of human history. He told Satoshi that Bitcoin seemed to be “a very promising idea,” and that there was “potential value in a form of unforgeable token whose production rate is predictable and can't be influenced by corrupt parties.”
Sadly, tragedy struck Finney in August 2009, seven months after he and Satoshi began working on Bitcoin together: he was diagnosed with, a severely debilitating disease which attacked his central nervous system and would eventually rob him of control over his body. He was confined to a wheelchair two years after his diagnosis.
Whether Finney’s Bitcoin wealth was in fact “unearned” is datable. On the one hand, his work considerably influenced Bitcoin and helped get it off the ground. But on the other hand, its price appreciation earned people who bought in early tens of millions of dollars, with very little risk. Finney, however, never got to spend any of this money: most of it went toward paying his medical expenses.
Now that we’ve examined Hal Finney’s life and relationship with Satoshi Nakamoto, let’s take a look at the evidence for and against him secretly being Satoshi.Hal Finney’s personal and professional timelines match up well with Satoshi’s.
