Running Bitcoin with Fran Finney

[@drmoesta]

Fran Finney is such an amazing person. Never thought I’d ever learn this much about Hal Finney. Her openness was an amazing gift.

[@nerkTV]

well said. it truly was a gift. i cried several times during this amd I might just have to experience that again.

[@contemplating1015]

🙏❤️

[@yiguanas812]

Bitcoin history in the making. A truly magnificent choice of guest. Well done, chaps!

[@Luke-cj7gz]

Wow. Never seen an interview with Fran. WBD has had the best guests of any Bitcoin podcast. Nice work.

[@John-wf5if]

So many of us Bitcoiners miss a man that we never even met. Speaks to his colossal impact on us all.

[@Bitcoinchat]

Satoshi sending him 10btc to make sure the coins could be transferred was pivotal!

[@gandang1319]

Not hal finny create bitcoin.

[@laotouthinking9090]

Well done Peter. Respectfully done. Thank you Fran for talking

[@garcon8552]

As always Peter, a very respectful discussion on several sensitive topics with Mrs. Finney. Great to have heard more on her management and care for Hal with such a devastating disease. She is a star.

[@mattbradley1716]

Very heavy stuff. Someone should make sure Fran is OK after bravely putting herself through all this. She appears to have a sense of humour, as did Hal. God bless you Fran Finney.🙏

[@krishickman8724]

They don't believe in God.. weren't you listening

[@krishickman8724]

Or jesus

[@ssylwester]

Thumbs way up, as a bitcoiner (thanks Hal for your work), and runner, will be supporting ALS research again this year

[@Tonyous]

Wow...I was diagnosed with cancer in Feb on '23...a little before my 60th. I'm in full remission now but my girlfriend went through Hell worrying about me and taking care of me. I can imagine the sheer trauma Fran went through. I am glad she was able to find her way back to bitcoin after all that mess! We, the bitcoin community, owe so much to Hal and we will support Fran and her oh so important cause!!

[@JefRdam]

You will get there brother stay strong.

[@ndegaetano96]

Stay strong 💪

[@skg-rg6mh]

Thank you Fran for doing this. Let's make this year's Running Bitcoin Challenge the best one yet!

[@nerkTV]

I cried several times during this. Fran, you are every bit as incredible as Hal. You are doing the work that would make him beyond proud, and you don't have to do it but I know if must feel absolutely necessary. This all must be so difficult for you. My heart goes out to you and your family and I will be donating to your charity. My goal is to work towards the half marathon for Hal ❤ thank you for reminding me of emotions of love, and care, and grief in a dark cold world

[@Vi3ioN_BTC]

Wow, I totally didn't expect this interview. Seeing that Hal Finney was such a big influence in the early days of Bitcoin. It's such a treat to listen from his wife. Loving this!

[@ROLROCKS9]

Wonderful interview. Thank you Fran for sharing with us your story. Peter and Danny thank you. Well done sir.

[@jieret813]

I had a friend/coworker who was diagnosed with ALS. It started with shoulder issues the doctors couldn't diagnose, then after several months the verdict came in. Once it was diagnosed it only took months for him to go (he didn't want to prolong things for himself and his family). It was scary and sad to watch the rapid progression, and seeing and hearing the emotions in Fran really brought it back for me. I'm not much of a runner, but I think I'm gonna have to get involved in Running Bitcoin some sort of way. Supporting BTC and fighting ALS? Yes, please.

[@Jimmybob21]

Ok was about to go out! Guess I'm staying home to watch this!! So excited for this interview. Legendary 🧡⚡️💯

[@ReVoltAgefilms]

Beautiful interview Peter.❤

[@sergejur]

Hal will always be remembered as a hero!

[@richardwilson57]

There are very few times in human history when we get to interview someone who was very close to a modern day genius …… as far as I’m concerned that man was the closest thing we have to a God walking amongst us ……. Amazing interview….. thank you!

[@motochris_341]

Peter, Danny, this is legendary! Thanks for all the great content!

[@koancircle285]

Thank you Hal you will be always in our hearts

[@odai1011]

wow - thank you Fran for sharing a glimpse into your lives. And thank you Peter for holding this space.

[@rayforray24]

One of the best interviews I've watched about bitcoin 👌 👏 🙌

[@greencol]

Great interview. Really interesting to learn more about Hal, and a big thanks to Fran for doing this.

[@LKNDIY]

A great spiritual mentor of mine was taken by ALS. Thank you for this interview. Much love!

[@JefRdam]

Stay strong BTC brother.

[@e350mn]

Thanks Fran. It was so nice to meet you and hear your story.

[@MikeStillUK]

Very moving episode!

[@e-enterprise]

What a truly beautiful and wise person Fran is. The bitcoin community will protect her at all cost. This podcast was a privilage to listen. I'm sure Hal is watching from the other side, with a big smile on his face, completely pain free. We'll all meet him one day, when we also fall asleep for the final time. Until then, we'll cherish his memory by looking towards the stars knowing he's out there, a part of infinity, smiling and looking back.

[@contemplating1015]

Incredibly brave lady and a deeply moving interview. 🙏🧡

[@DuxSidera]

Thanks to both of you for doing this and providing such personal insight to a key part of Bitcoin history.

[@ronmckay9037]

This just feels a lot like what life is...someone as good a person Hal Finney was of course was struck with ALS. Fran, you will always be in my thoughts, thank you for sharing your time with the community.

[@sherajr]

This interview made me feel things. Thanks Fran for being so open about everything ❤

[@JakeRoque]

Thank you Fran for sharing with us 🙏🏼

[@mrpaddingtonn]

Epic! What a smart family. Great interview. Thanks Peter & co.

[@jamesdunham1072]

Very profound episode...

[@XxChuyoxX]

Wow, what a guest

[@BrickwallStudios0]

Proof of love

[@TP-3000]

Saw “running” and nearly didn’t watch this. So glad I did

[@TheBriansle]

I believe Hal Finney created Bitcoin. Thank you for this interview.

[@mikestaub]

Behind every great man, is a loving and supporting spouse. Fran is a special person and she is honoring Hal's memory beautifully. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@MatthewKowalskiLuminosity]

Thanks for doing this interview it is important.

[@robgor482]

She’s amazing! ❤

[@robertrobert6665]

Words escape me. Thank you both. 🎄✝️

[@nbarnaby]

Wow, thank you, what an incredible conversation, holding back tears, incredible stuff

[@CaptainHaddock2]

Great journalism. This is an interview that may well be an important part of our history thirty or forty years from now.

[@Rob-ft3qe]

Peter has evolved into an amazing ambassador for Bitcoin. Great discussion, thank you.

[@drinks777]

Just an amazing interview Peter. Excellent choice of guest

[@CorruptedGauntlet]

I'm blessed to have watched this, Fran is so smart. She does not look like 68 at all. Long love Bitcoin.

[@LioBilly]

Really great work getting this done Peter

[@danc1873]

I feel a lot of affection for you, Fran. We all miss Hal, even if we never met him. The warmest hug from just one more person who's thinking about you two in this wonderful world that you are making better every day

[@jimihendrixx11]

Thanks to Fran for this. Hope bitcoiners can support the running bitcoin challenge.

[@tommycala]

Fran is such a wonderful person 👏👏👏

[@Paintbug]

I just imagine how happy Hal would be to know that Fran is under the embrace of the entire Bitcoin community. What a lovely woman. The love she shared with her husband is a gift many of us can only wish for.

[@kylekain5577]

Whoever is cutting onions, STOP IT 😭

[@catseyes2334]

Interesting guest ❤

[@beachvolleyballcoach]

Hal is such an inspiration to us all. Thank you Fran for sharing. ❤

[@thomasborda5462]

Overall great show. While fascinating to hear about ALS and Fran knew ALOT more than she gives herself credit for, it was a heavy portion of the interview. However, that was balanced out by such authenticate and intimate memories she shared with the world. Amazing work teasing out the raw takes. I’m also stoned right now.

[@FrancescoGatti]

thank you

[@sj6049]

Great interview, Peter. Thank you for showing the human faces of Bitcoin.

[@jonbarker92]

Love the title of this. Thanks Peter

[@NorthofNorthIsland]

WBD. This is THE podcast i have been waiting for. Still Running 🏃‍♂️ 👍

[@9Crow]

Hi Fran good to hear from you❤

[@mattheweley]

Amazing guys, thank you for this episode, can’t wait to dig in

[@cypherpunk08]

I dont normally cry, only few times since I was young, but Bitcoin has changed my life completely. And I've always had a strong respect for Hal Finney and Satoshi. I can't stop some tears shedding down from my eyes, while I watch this interview and thinking about Hal Thanks Hal and Satoshi for your contribution to the world. You two left such a great gift. 🙏🙏

[@johnpittman7095]

Her love for him is so pure. Incredible.

[@liamball8335]

Beautiful touching interview. ❤

[@John-wf5if]

Totally unexpected interview. What a lovely and beautiful woman.

[@caerbenogg]

Thanks for the great interview! Teared up a bit.

[@WhiteTigerAudio]

Bitcoiners need to keep Fran Finney alive at all costs.

[@dmr87]

Thanks Pete!

[@easternhair]

great interview

[@ivorytickle]

It is so beautiful how Fran speaks about Hal 😍❤I wish for everyone to experience this kind of love

[@nickycxjd791]

This is gonna be an iconic interview recorded in history book

[@HangTheBankers1]

Well done, great interview and good to know more about Hal and the woman in his life.

[@Idontdohandles]

Can't believe this has only 20k views so far and less than 200 comments. Testament to how much no one gets it or cares enough yet. BTC and its alt coin STX with yeild paid in BTC. Say no more. Hal's cred is unstoppable especailly in his absence. Godspeed Hal, all the love and fortune to Fran to supporting him and just being herself -- can see why Hal fell for her she's delightful!!!! May not realize it yet, but decades from now, this interview will not just be required cirriculum in all educational classrooms, it willl be covetd and sought after by all humanoids to understand 'how'. I'm sobbing thru this as it gets further in. sobbing.

[@Spiralnebel_GB]

Very touching interview ❤️ Everybody should spread the word and help to raise some funds. They deserve much much more ❤️

[@amahaalem8239]

Thank you Fran.

[@michaelburger8002]

What a great interview! Great work Peter!👏

[@jonaswttmnn]

Wow. This is just amazing.

[@bbcdsatoshi]

Thoroughly interesting man, thank you Hal

[@ElsiervoDePeFKNerre]

Como bitcoiner amo escuchar esta historias de las personas que vivieron de cerca y ayudaron a lo que hoy día se ha convertido esta fenómeno de BtC, que buena entrevista para documental el punto de vista de la esposa del gran Hal que desde el día 0 tenía bien claro que esto era algo grande y creo que su memoria debe ser honrada por ese grana aporte. Saludos desde 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico

[@MrMarc37i]

That was an emotional interview

[@richardfenton9945]

Wow, what an amazing, heartbreaking, and inspiring interview. Thanks to all three of you: Peter, Danny, and especially, Fran. My greatest fantasy is that Hal is Satoshi and is able to come back and prove it by moving the Bitcoin (and giving the world the end of the story.)

[@konversbitcoin]

Interestingly, the distance of half a marathon is 21km, or 21,000,000mm.

[@PIKOLO390]

Hal Finney its a worldwide hero 👏🙂 for his contribution and creation of BITCOIN

[@TuvaluHODL]

I love running! I'll start doing it for Hal :)

[@jonathanjones6828]

Fantastic interview 👍🏼

[@Tonyous]

Wow! I can't wait to watch this after work! Hal is the definition of a legend and I too think he was working closely with, if he was not THE actual Satoshi Nakamoto. I'm truly excited!

[@PeterBeckman-r9n]

Oh my, Fran baked me a birthday cake for my 22nd birthday back in the good old days at Page House.

[@passionparade]

Here in Canada before patients could "die with dignity" I remember watching a Paid Program late night on TV and the subject was a man with ALS and his journey to "Die with dignity". It was a very moving broadcast. It seems like "keeping someone alive" with this condition is a crime of some kind as the impossible becomes even more impossible. What a tragic condition.

[@artcoin9699]

One of the most heavy weight interviews I’ve heard. She is an amazing woman and an inspiration to many 🙏 Bitcoin 🚀 🚀

[@fmp000]

Beautiful interview!

[@NorthofNorthIsland]

68 She looks and sounds amazing 🧡

Kudos to Fran

[@40mules]

yes, a very important interview

[@jimc7042]

Amazing interview. Such a rich history and a live cut way too short.

[@KotoriOnWheels]

Lovely lady. ❤

[@tygyrlylly8079]

No way! Great work Peter

[@DEM78976]

Wow. Incredible interview.

[@alexoprisan9678]
