On January 12th, 2009, just two days after Hal Finney tweeted “Running bitcoin,” Satoshi Nakamoto sent him 10 BTC in block 170; the first peer-to-peer Bitcoin transaction in history. Before that, every block was coinbase rewards to miners. This was the moment Bitcoin became money. Forever on the ledger. Forever in our hearts. 🏃‍♂️ To honour Hal, join the #RunningBitcoinChallenge and put in the proof-of-work with us. 👉 http://secure.alsnetwork.org/goto/bitcoin-runners Here is a link to the actual transaction:

✨Merry Christmas✨ Let’s carb load for January’s @Running Bitcoin Challenge 😊🍰

IFKYK! “When you finish Parkrun in that very special position that only another Bitcoiner would understand the significance of.” Congratulations Chris ✊

Massive congratulations to Benny for smashing a phenomenal new 5km PB (18m 25s) in London yesterday; all while flying the flag for Bitcoin and fitness, from the grassroots up. We’re in awe of the progress you’ve made over the last year. Absolute 💫

People often ask: “What is Bitcoin Runners?”. Well, it’s an open-source running club sitting at the intersection of two powerful, community-driven movements. One focused on sovereignty of wealth, the other on sovereignty of health. Our mission has two pillars: 1. Accelerate bitcoin adoption and normalise its use as a global, peer-to-peer currency. 2. Inspire more people to exercise and experience the life-changing physical and mental benefits it brings. For runners who don’t ‘bitcoin’: We’re here to cut through the noise and give you the signal; the knowledge and tools to get ahead of the curve and secure your future without depending on a sick financial system. For bitcoiners who don’t run: Welcome to a world of health, fitness, and new friends. Lace up your ASICS and discover what your body and mind are capable of. For those already “Running bitcoin”: It’s time to have some fun. Grab a shirt, spread the good word of Satoshi, and build like-minded connections, as we pursue freedom and sovereignty in the digital age.

ICYMI: https://xcancel.com/halfin/status/1992697342081081664 We can’t wait to run bitcoin with you again and host even more #RunForHals next year. If you’re putting on an event for bitcoiners and have ideas to support fundraising for ALS research in Hal’s memory, please do get in touch. #RunningBitcoin #HalFinney #ALS #MND
