Benzinga - The crypto community’s latest discovery is a video from a quarter-century ago. In this footage, early Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) pioneer Hal Finney is seen discussing the potential of zero-knowledge proofs, a cornerstone of cryptographic technology.

What Happened: The footage originates from the Crypto ’98 conference, which took place in Santa Barbara, California, on Aug. 26, 1998. The video features Finney elaborating on the concept of zero-knowledge proofs.

Zero-knowledge proofs or ZK-proofs are cryptographic protocols enabling a user to validate a claim’s authenticity without divulging any specifics of the claim. First coined in 1985, this concept predates the launch of Bitcoin by over a decade.
