Back to 2017, would you think he is a madman or a genius?
In 2017, Federal Reserve Chair Yellen spoke at a hearing, behind her a young man had a sudden inspiration for a performance art piece.
He held up a notepad with the words "Buy Bitcoin" written on it. The young man, Christian Langalis, was then a researcher at a think tank.
He became an overnight sensation. This piece of paper was later framed and auctioned for 1 million dollars. He received a donation of 7 bitcoins for this action.
At that time, bitcoin was at 2000 dollars.
