Exactly 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto executed something revolutionary: sending 10 BTC directly to Hal Finney. This wasn't just a transfer—it was proof that peer-to-peer electronic cash could actually work.

That transaction validated the entire vision. No intermediaries. No delays. Just two individuals exchanging value across the network, exactly as intended from day one.

Looking back, it's easy to forget how uncertain things were. The network could have failed. The protocol could have broken. Instead, it held.

If you're sending crypto to someone today—whether it's a small payment or a substantial amount—you're participating in the same mechanism they pioneered back then. Same principle, same trustlessness, same power.

Remember what that transfer represented: the birth of a working alternative to traditional finance.
