The Bitcoin community is marking 12 years since Hal Finney received the first-ever Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto in January 2009. This milestone highlights Bitcoin's massive growth, with the 10 BTC Finney received then now worth over $800,000.

Finney, a cryptographer and early Bitcoin pioneer, passed away in 2014 after battling ALS. Despite speculation, he denied being Satoshi Nakamoto, but his contributions and legacy remain central to Bitcoin's history and development.
