Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, is officially running a Bitcoin node according to his latest tweet.
Tweeting the phrase ‘Running Bitcoin’ which was made famous by Hal Finney, the second person to mine Bitcoin in January 2009 after the creator Satoshi Nakamoto, Jack seems to be more determined than ever to push the decentralized finance with a focus on Bitcoin.
