I conducted a 5-month forensic investigation into Bitcoin’s very early days, and this led me to discover some never-before-known facts about Bitcoin’s launch.

Most people take it as a given that Hal Finney was Bitcoin’s first user, and while this is a very well-established opinion, there is no literature that supports this directly.

I will present my 3 discoveries and explain how I managed to extract this information and why (I think) everyone missed this and what does this mean for Bitcoin.
