A touching sculpture dedication pays tribute to the legendary cryptographer Hal Finney and his love of running.
“Running Bitcoin” is a sculpture in commemoration of Hal Finney celebrating his 65th birthday and his contributions to Bitcoin. It will be up for auction beginning today, May 4, 2021, Hal s birthday, and 50% of the sale will be donated to ALS Association Golden Golden West Chapter. I am the artist, Marcus Connor, best known for being the original creator of the “Bitcoin Roller Coaster Guy.”
Running Bitcoin
Hal Finney was one of the very first people to run Bitcoin. He wrote, “When Satoshi announced the first release of the software, I grabbed it right away. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin.” We know that Hal was doing this also due to his now-famous tweet which simply states, “Running bitcoin.” This sculpture was directly inspired by that tweet.
the safety wasn t a problem. are you a roller coaster guy? i love roller coasters. but they re scary and things happen. when you get on them, you know that you don t worry that s going to happen? not really. not tree limbs falling? i m a big chicken. my friends took me there, i white knuckled the whole time. are you scared of that or the actual ride? the ride. not the tree limbs. sorry. was that too much? quarter to the hour right now. how would you like to work less than 40 hours a week? is that possible? it is an attractive idea being touted by a very important ceo from google. could the future of our work force really be part-time? i like when you do your voice like that. also, she was friends with the beetles and performed with the monkees. lulu will join us to talk about how the british invasion influenced popular music.
