The Internet Just Gave This Man $2 Million in Bitcoin!

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Andreas Antonopoulos - you might've seen him in Youtube videos and all. One of the best public speakers for Bitcoin and blockchain technology, in my opinion. Recently in response to a tweet, he revealed that he's still not a Bitcoin millionaire and just got out of debt recently. The Internet (myself included) responded by sending him a total worth of ~$2 million in Bitcoin! Well deserved! Check out one of his latest videos above, and follow him at https://twitter.com/aantonop

Wish we had him on Steem.

Hey @kevinwong / @etherpunk, you sent him some btc right? can you memo him to do a book on Steem?

He just wrote one on ETH, and he has a bunch on BTC already.

This guys really needs to check out Steem, it's probably the most impactful altruistic crypto out there for the mainstream, and can be much-much more.

Ah...very nice find @anonimnotoriu,

This brings me to the belief that we need to go grassroots (as well as get Andreas Antonopoulos on board, cause he's so grassrootsy :)

See this reply I made to @ats-david Why Does Steem Lags in a Bull Market

I second that.

we do.. have others like him. There's good and invisible helpers, everywhere ;)

like who besides the founders and coders?

He is like a researcher and super apologist for bitcoin and crypto.....totally different league from just your regular crypto promoter that are a dime a dozen on youtube and elsewhere.

We all do @amadeus, we all do. UpVoted!

Andreas is the king 👑 and he deserves every bit of the attention and support he's gotten. He introduced me to Bitcoin and explained the fundamentals of how it worked better than anyone else and he's done this for countless others. Keep up the fire Andreas 👊🏽

I was blown away when I read about this today. I have watched many of his videos, and I guess, naturally like many other people, assumed he had a stack of Bitcoin. So happy to see people give him their vote of confidence (Bitcoin). The guy deserves it.

Yeah it was surprising to find out that he didn't have a stack, being so hard at work travelling around giving talks

He probably makes some money out of consultancy and speaking fees, but that certainly won't make him rich. He obviously believes in what he's promoting, even when he had no Bitcoin. He's therefore in it for altruistic reasons.

I read a great analogy the other day. It's like the animated movie Ants. The little ants make tributes to the grasshoppers for years, until they realize one day that their power as a collective is far greater than that of the grasshoppers. Hopefully these donations help to properly spread the word about Bitcoin for years to come.

same thing will going to happen with steem....just need patience ...like he did...these little cents are going to be worthy...

I very much enjoyed listening to this man speak conveying his ideas on the future capacities that this tech. could someday be. I'm very much, at this point, involved with cRyPtO's but What if.......... the intelligence is ever growing and at this point intelligent enough to throw us crumbs for our labor of creating it in the form of tokens and coins that hold and grow in value? What if that's the purpose..... for the intelligence behind it all to grow unconditionally feeding it's creators who by the way are all over the world in every country mining daily 24/7 adding to their set ups to mine more and more to gain more while unbeknownst to them they are growing this intelligence tiny piece by piece until it doesn't need us anymore? Or maybe it's just the new way humans will exchange goods between one another as currencies die and are born...............

informative vedio thanks for share.

this man knows so much about bitcoin. If anyone should get it is would be him. Thanks.

He is the Elon Musk of blockchain, now with some millions in his pockets to back up such a status :)) You're a real awesome guy for sending him some bitcoin, it's inspiring to see people with principles who actually live up to them.

This man deserves it. He has done so much work for bitcoin for years all over the world, if bitcoin is so mainstream today is partially thanks to Andreas too.
Well done.

He is a great man and bitcoin expert he deserve it thanks for sharing
