Hal Finney’s Twitter Account Witnesses New Activities

In order to prevent being removed from Twitter, Hal Finney’s account, a vital component of bitcoin culture and its community, is experiencing some activity, which was done by his wife Franfinney.

Finney passed away in 2014, but his abandoned account has been a piece of the early history of bitcoin that many have struggled to preserve.

Jameson Lopp, the CEO of Casa and a well-known proponent of bitcoin, noted the activity on Finney’s account in a tweet but expressed uncertainty as to whether the account had been compromised. Fran, Finney’s widow, however, acknowledged that she started tweeting using the account to stop it from being deleted.

For those unaware, in the bitcoin world, Finney is well-known for being the first individual to accept payment in bitcoin from Satoshi Nakamoto, the cryptocurrency’s pseudonymous founder.

According to Messari founder Ryan Selkis, Finney also anticipated two of the main difficulties that bitcoin would encounter throughout the course of its existence, and that have already materialized. These difficulties he foresaw included making bitcoin more anonymous and lowering its CO2 emissions.
