#### Craziest story ever 👇 

## Did Bitcoin come from a video game?

In 1991 the game Space Quest 4 was created by Rod Nakamoto and Satoshi Uesaka. 

(The mysterious creator of Bitcoin’s name is Satoshi Nakamoto)

In this game, which is about time travel, they use a digital coin called ‘Buckazoids’

Its logo looks almost identical to the Bitcoin logo. 

A man named Hal Finney, a cryptographer, cypherpunk and video game developer…reportedly consulted on this game. 

Hal Finney was the very FIRST person to ever receive Bitcoin.

Hal Finney was the very FIRST person to ever receive Bitcoin. 

He has passed away and his body is held in a cryochamber awaiting a cure for ALS. 

Bitcoin is also kept in ‘cold storage’. 

So…did Hal Finney steal the idea and logo for Bitcoin from Space Quest 4…and create a fake identity by simply mashing up the two top developers names?
