🚨 The First #Bitcoin Transaction Ever Sent Hal Finney once said: “I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run Bitcoin.” He mined one of the earliest blocks. He received the very first Bitcoin transaction ever — 10 BTC sent directly from Satoshi as a test. Over the next few days, they exchanged emails. Hal reported bugs. Satoshi fixed them. Before exchanges. Before billions. Before the world noticed. Just two people testing an idea. History started with 10 coins.
