Too Long; Didn't Read

Jim Blasko is the Bitcoin OG who recently discovered the original upload of Bitcoin’s code base, a historical document containing Satoshi Nakamoto's personal notations. The 13-year-old file, previously thought to be lost forever, provides valuable insight into Bitcoin's early development. He recalled Hal Finley, the first Bitcoin recipient in history, intended to mail this particular version to some people before his death in 2014. Olayimika Oyebanji sat down with him to learn more about his discovery of Bitcoin's codebase.
