If a multiverse exists then there are worlds where Hal Finney = Satoshi
Nakamoto and as long as you don't have any information that refutes
this, you have exact copies in such worlds.

That won't help because the energy cost involved in making a bitcoin
is also increasing and it's increasing exponentially; there will never
be more than 21 million bitcoins in the world because if there are 21
million of them the energy needed to make another one is infinite.
Bitcoin is inherently energy inefficient and its inefficiency can only
increase.
Other than it's inventor Satoshi Nakamoto the very first person to
ever mint a bitcoin was Hal Finney in 2009, back then a typical home
computer could make a bitcoin in just a few minutes, I remember he
said on the Extropian mailing list I was on at the time that on a whim
he once left his computer on overnight minting bitcoins. He claims
that after that he forgot all about it but soon after he was faced
with huge medical bills because he was diagnosed with ALS, the same
disease Stephen Hawkings had, and about the same time he started
reading about the huge increase in the price of Bitcoins. Finney no
longer used that old obsolete computer but he still had it at the back
of his closet, and the Bitcoins were still on the hard drive, they
were more than enough to pay for his medical expenses.
Finney died in 2014 and to this day some people think he actually was
Satoshi Nakamoto. It may be a coincidence that Nakamoto stopped
posting and disappeared about the same time Finney got sick, or it may
not be, but it would explain why although he owns billions of dollars
worth of bitcoins not a single one has ever been spent by somebody who
controls the Bitcoin account of "Satoshi Nakamoto". Even after this
recent price collapse Nakamoto is still one of the richest men in the
world, and yet he doesn't seem to have ever spent a single nickel of
his vast fortune. It's weird.
