Seventeen years ago, on January 11, 2009, Hal Finney tweeted "Running bitcoin," marking a pivotal moment in cryptocurrency history. Finney, who received the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto, played a crucial role in Bitcoin's early development. His tweet has become emblematic of the cryptocurrency's rise from a niche concept to a global financial phenomenon.
Interestingly, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) on January 11, 2024, exactly 15 years after Finney's historic tweet. This coincidence underscores the significant milestones in Bitcoin's journey from its inception to mainstream financial markets.
