😱🔥Janet Yellen's notebook with "Buy Bitcoin" written on the back sold for $1 million
While the halving in #Bitcoin has made the largest cryptocurrency much more talked about around the world, that ledger that has been known since 2017 with the inscription "Buy Bitcoin" has been sold for 16 BTC worth about $ 1 million.
At a Financial Services Commission meeting attended by #JanetYellen who is currently the US Treasury Secretary, in 2017, when she was Fed chair, the notebook with “Buy Bitcoin” written on the back while the cameras were filming it was sold for 16 BTC worth $ 1 million.
The winner of the auction, which took place in a bar in New York, was a person whose name was not announced, but who used the pseudonym “Squirrekkywrath”. Christian Langalis, who held that notebook behind Janet Yellen in 2017, also personally participated in the auction.
The notebook, which was sold at the event organized through the auction platform company Scare City, also contains other old notes and drawings by Langalis. Langalis was 22 years old at the time of that meeting and was working as an intern at the Cato Institute, a US-based think tank, at the time. He also attended the meeting in this capacity.
He was thrown out
Langalis, who was holding this notebook for the cameras while YELLEN was giving a speech, was later escorted out of the hall by officials. At the time of publication, the Bitcoin price had also experienced a 4% increase.
Bitcoin was priced around $ 2700 in July of 2017, when Yellen gave a speech. 5 months later, in December, the price had risen to a level that would be considered a historical record for that period with 20 thousand dollars.
