Crew neck, short raglan sleeves, UV protection 40+. Made for running, but it works just as well in the gym or as a first layer under a jacket. On the back is a sentence from January 2009.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was written by \u003cstrong\u003eHal Finney\u003c\/strong\u003e. Two words, no punctuation, no explanation: “Running bitcoin”. On his computer ran the client that Satoshi Nakamoto had published a few days earlier. In 2009 that was a single program: node, wallet and mining in one. So Finney did not just run a node, he mined as well: “Block 70 or so”, as he later put it. One day later Satoshi sent him ten Bitcoin. The first transfer there ever was, recorded in \u003cstrong\u003eBlock 170\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the sentence bigger than a status message: in 2009 Finney was running himself. He had lost weight, had several half marathons behind him and was training for his first marathon, “in the best shape of my life”, as he later put it. In \u003cstrong\u003eAugust of the same year\u003c\/strong\u003e he was diagnosed with ALS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeventeen days after that diagnosis he ran another half marathon.\u003c\/strong\u003e On September 6, 2009, together with his wife Fran, hand in hand across the finish line, in 1:59:27. It was his last race. Three months later he could no longer run and covered the last two miles of a marathon with a cane, his wife at his side. On \u003cstrong\u003eAugust 28, 2014\u003c\/strong\u003e he died, at 58.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is exactly why this is not a merch motif for us but a mindset. “Running bitcoin” means: run a node instead of trusting. Look after the body you are going to live in for the next few decades. And take one more step when it gets uncomfortable: first jogging, then on a cane, then with your eyes. What you do every day is what you are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHal Finney – First runner. First believer. Forever a legend.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is why this sentence is on a running shirt with us and not on a T-shirt. Twice, in fact: here as a large motif across the back, on the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/bitcoin-running-shirt-running-bitcoin\" title=\"Bitcoin Running Shirt - Running Bitcoin\"\u003eBitcoin Running Shirt Running Bitcoin\u003c\/a\u003e as a quiet lettering.

He had worked on \u003cstrong\u003ePGP\u003c\/strong\u003e, the encryption that made e-mail tap-proof for ordinary people for the first time, and kept working on it as a developer until his retirement in early 2011. In 2004 he built \u003cstrong\u003eRPOW\u003c\/strong\u003e, a digital means of payment based on proofs of work. It worked, it just still needed a single server as its linchpin. When Satoshi's whitepaper appeared four years later, Finney was one of the few who immediately understood what had been solved there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHence the year in the motif. 2009 does not stand for the invention of Bitcoin, but for the moment it started running, and for the year in which Finney was still running himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow far ahead he thought shows in a forum post from the end of 2010: Bitcoin on its own could not carry every payment in the world, it would need a second, lighter layer on top, and in the end Bitcoin would be the hard money underneath. Written years before Lightning existed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe kept programming even when his hands had long stopped playing along, via an eye tracker, by his own estimate around fifty times slower than before. In 2013 he published the post “Bitcoin and me” in the BitcoinTalk forum. Since January 2022 there has been the \u003cstrong\u003eRunning Bitcoin Challenge\u003c\/strong\u003e, led by his wife \u003cstrong\u003eFran Finney\u003c\/strong\u003e: a half marathon around the anniversary of the tweet, Hal's favorite distance.
