Bitcoin's first developer Hal Finney started running the network software and just days later made a casual prediction that caught everyone off guard—he reckoned a single coin could eventually fetch $10 million. Back then in 2009, Bitcoin was literally trading for fractions of a cent, so the gap between reality and his forecast was absolutely wild. What makes this even more striking is how casually he threw out such an audacious number, almost like he could sense something everyone else was missing about where this thing was headed. Whether you think he nailed it or was way off base, there's no denying the man was thinking several dimensions ahead of the market.

Did Hal Finney see it back then? Truly amazing, seeing things ten years into the future ten years ago... Now we still haven't figured it out clearly.

Hal Finney, this guy is really a prophet. He dared to say in 2009 that Bitcoin could reach ten million dollars, back then it was still trading at a fraction of a cent. His way of thinking is absolutely incredible.

Early Hal's vision was truly remarkable, going from just a few cents to directly reaching millions of dollars. This kind of scale is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Hal Finney, that guy is really a prophet. He dared to say in 2009 that one coin would be worth 10 million, even though it was not worth a penny back then... His vision is truly unbelievable.
