The Viral Bitcoin Sign Guy
In 2017, a meme of Christian Langalis went viral after he held up a “Buy Bitcoin” sign during Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s Congressional testimony. Langalis, also known as the “BTC Sign Guy” is now auctioning off the exact same BTCsign sketched on a yellow legal pad that he held up behind Yellen.
The Iconic Sign
The iconic drawing marked Bitcoin’s intrusion into the global monetary landscape. The sign has been described on the auction website as one of the few widely recognized physical Bitcoin artefacts, given Bitcoin’s virtual nature. Beloved by BTC enthusiasts, the sign has spawned countless memes, derivative works, and imitation stunts. Yellen has maintained vocal criticism of BTC.
Langalis’ Perspective
After gaining fame from the viral incident, Langalis shared his thoughts on the sign and its impact on the crypto community. He expressed his belief in the power of BTC and the message he conveyed with the sign during the hearing.
BTC Growth
In 2017, BTC was trading at a much lower price compared to its current value. The significant growth of BTC over the years has made it a lucrative investment for many. The auction of the sign serves as a reminder of BTC’s journey and impact on the financial world.
