After this legendary tweet, 24 hours later Satoshi sent 10 BTC to Hall's wallet as a form of testing and became the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction. There are many amazing stories from Hall, especially when diagnosed with ALS. the biggest twist is that his body is still at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation. I'm curious and have a big question, is it true that one day he will come back to life?
Exactly and in the story wrote by Hal Finney, he mentioned about that transaction with a little bit more details too.

More information about Hal Finney as well as the first Bitcoin peer to peer transaction

The first bitcoin transaction?
Payment No. 1: A Closer Look at the Very First Bitcoin Transfer

We could see how important the guy on Bitcoin history if many people continue to remember him and also those contributions he have done.

I tried to research about those famous quotes shared by Hal Finney and maybe people would get an interest to read it in this site https://relai.app/blog/hal-finney-quotes

Also its great to see those contribution he made continuously shared by people, since it cannot only refresh the minds of those long time Bitcoiner. Also it can help newbies to learn history and who are those people help Bitcoin on early phase of its existence.

​He was a true pioneer and gentleman of the early cryptographic community.
Reading about how he kept coding even as ALS took away his physical abilities is deeply humbling, a post he made in this forum on the 19th of march, 2013.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.520

We stand on the shoulders of giants, and Hal was undoubtedly one of the tallest.
