I Got Paid 32 BTC to Wear That Hat and Hold That Sign on a Busy Street in 2011

Back in 2011, I was the guy who held the sign that read: "Stop the FED! Use Bitcoins" standing on a busy street, wearing the hat and all. I was originally paid 32 BTC to do it, and after the photo made its way to a Bitcoin forum, people started tipping me even more BTC out of appreciation. In total, 96.14 BTC was sent to my address For context, Bitcoin was around $4.25 at the time. submitted by /u/Bflixito_org [link] [comments]
