Don't remind me again today

You know where one of Bitcoin's founding figures ended up? Frozen in time—literally.



When ALS took Hal Finney in August 2014, his journey didn't end there. His body found its way to Alcor Life Extension Foundation's facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, preserved through cryonics. The crypto community's dubbed this "cold storage"—and yeah, the double meaning hits different when you think about it.

The guy who received the first-ever Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi now waits in subzero suspension. Some see poetry in that. Others see hope. The term "cold storage" usually means keeping crypto keys offline and secure. For Finney, it became something far more personal—a bet on future technology, just like he bet on Bitcoin when nobody else would.

Talk about commitment to the long game.

The technical White Paper must demonstrate: the core developer Hal's choice of cold storage means a commitment to value Consensus.
