✨ Tomorrow is Hal Finney's 68th birthday.
A true cypherpunk legend, Hal championed #Bitcoin when it was worth $0, predicted it would hit $1 million, and helped Satoshi with the 1st code release.
A video tribute to his life and lasting legacy 💫
Satoshi stayed anon for a reason. If the powers at be knew who he was he'd be in prison or dead already.

If you love bitcoin and freedom, even if it is not your cold storage tool of choice, you should want SeedSigner and tools like it to exist and flourish.

The reason so many sleep at night with COLDCARD is because we KISS 😘
Bitcoin only, extreme paranoid attention to detail, I/O simplicity with PSBT, no client software/app, clear cases, no bullshit marketing/tracking/analytics on our products, supply chain control, well readable and verifiable source code, reproducible builds, no shiny new cryptographic standards, deterministic nonces, and lots of steaks.
