Hello Hal, thanks for your inspiring post.
Its really nice that you look on life from the bright side and see it satisfying even though ALS is one of the worst things that can happen to anyone.
I myself got a muscular dystrophy, and for 4 years I can't walk any more. I have a job, wife and a kid so like you, I also feel my life satisfying and joyful despite my illness. Not sure why I'm writing this, but I really wanted to share it!
Best wishes and be strong!

@Hal What to say ? Probably my best read in this board. U will be regarded as one of the pillars in future financial world. I think Sir Stephen Hawking is also paralyzed from a similar kind of a disease. Salute to U people.
@Gregor Your will power is inspiring as well...
Something I have always believed...
Signal can not stop the Will Power !!!

Here's to you, Hal Finney. You believed before anyone else did. Your attitude then, and now is what makes being a part of Bitcoin such a fabulous experience.
Upward and onward, Ad astra per aspera,

I propose that 100 Satoshis, i.e. a micro-bitcoin, henceforth be known as one Finney in Hal's honor.
I support this proposition. 0.000001 = A Finney / Pronounced a 'finneh' (slang) eg. "Got a couple finneys from rain yesterday"
ALL IN FAVOR, QUOTE THIS MESSAGE
