March 2013. Hal Finney drops his legendary "Bitcoin and me" post on BitcoinTalk.
Paralyzed by ALS. Eye-tracking to code. Still building $BTC infrastructure while most people were just speculating.
He wasn't just hodling — he was shipping. Working on wallet security, rigging up custom controllers for his wheelchair, pushing code when every keystroke was a battle.
"Nearly finished, just needs docs" — the most developer thing ever said.
Hal believed $BTC could change the world. So he kept building until he physically couldn't anymore.
That's the OG energy this space was built on. Not exit liquidity. Not ponzinomics. Pure conviction and contribution.
Respect to the real ones who built in silence while the world wasn't watching.
