He was one of the very first to run Bitcoin, the recipient of the first BTC transaction. And he was an avid runner until progression of his ALS made it impossible.<br/>This challenge is our way of keeping both his cypherpunk spirit and his legacy alive.<br/><br/>⚡️ Who’s backing it<br/>This year’s challenge is supported by:<br/>– HRF – defending human freedom and privacy with Bitcoin<br/>– Block – building on open money for the world<br/><br/>I’m also proud to highlight HRF’s Finney Freedom Prize, honoring work at the intersection of Bitcoin, freedom, and privacy.<br/>Congratulations to the 3rd halving era’s winner, Andreas M. Antonopoulos - who educated millions on Bitcoin and its potential for humanity.<br/>Hal would be proud of your work. 🏆<br/><br/>💰 Where your sats go<br/>– 80%+ of all funds go directly to ALS research<br/>– Donations in bitcoin (and fiat) are accepted<br/>Every sat, every step, every share moves us closer to a cure.<br/><br/>👣 How to join<br/> 1.
