Wow, that tweet from Hal Finney really changed something... Since then, 17 years have passed, and we've gone from geek toys to the financial battlefield, hilarious

Wow, it's been 17 years. That tweet from Finney now looks like an antique... Who would have thought it would turn out like this back then?
