"Bitcoin Sign Guy' Is Auctioning His Bitcoin Sign" 😯😳
A piece of Bitcoin history is going on the block.
Christian Langalis, whose photo-bombing of Janet Yellen became a viral meme, is auctioning the "Buy Bitcoin" sign he held up behind the then-Federal Reserve chair during her televised Congressional testimony in July 2017.
The sign, which Langalis drew on a lined yellow legal pad with a fine-point pen (a Uniball Vision, he told CoinDesk), will be listed Thursday on Scarce City, an online marketplace that sells physical and digital collectibles (and, naturally, accepts payment only in bitcoin).
Asked how much he expected the memento – scribbled at a time when bitcoin (BTC) traded around $2,400 – to fetch, Langalis said, "I try not to think about it." However, he said that in recent weeks he received a private offer to buy the sign for five BTC, roughly $350,000 at recent prices. There is no reserve bid, or minimum price, he said.
