’m sure most of us in this sub have heard his name by now. If you haven’t I suggest you read up on his work and the legacy he left behind. He’s a popular pick for the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. He received the first bitcoin transaction from Satoshi himself.
Upon ready his wiki I learned that in his final years he was a victim of swatting in an attempt to extort bitcoin. Sad stuff.
Simply put, the crypto world we know today wouldn’t be what it is without his work and dedication.
RIP Mr Finney
