Exactly 8 years since this episode!
While the then-president of the institution that erodes the population's purchasing power was giving a speech, a sign pointed to the hardest asset ever created by humanity.
On 12th February 2017, Christian Langalis, a 22 year old guy held up a "Buy Bitcoin" sign during Fed chair while Janet Yellen was speaking to the House Financial Services Committee.
Langalis was promptly escorted out of the room. He later received around 7 BTCs in donations.
On April 25th, 2024, Langalis sold his iconic sign in an auction. The Scarce City auction for the sign took place at PubKey, a Bitcoin-themed bar in New York City, and the sign was sold for 16 BTCs.
