Yesterday (04 May) it was the birthday of Hal Finney. First bitcoiner, true legend...
The initial post written by Hal, let me tell you, is the most exciting of the whole forum.
His message, his story, is touching, something human, out of the ordinary, prophetic, brilliant and unique. As if describing the flame of a candle, in its colors, in its strength ... and how a candle cannot last forever.
He has dedicated his last thoughts to this creation essentially give importance to the utopian value of such a creation and not the economic implications.
We should do this too. We can all be better people beyond our role in modern society.

It's too bad that Bitcoiners like him, people who are most knowlegeable and who has the most invaluable insights in cryptocurrency networks as a whole are gone, or have left the forum. It would have been very nice to be guided by them.
Plus the first pictures I saw of Hal Finney was him already wheelchair-bound, sick with ALS. I believe many people did too, and were probably also truly surprised to learn that he ran marathons, and that he was very active before the sickness.
