5) Bitcoin vs Fed Presidency
You may not know the name Christian Langalis, but you certainly know the picture above. Langalis, who became the Bitcoin Sign Guy, was responsible for creating one of the most famous and iconic memes in the cryptosphere.
It all started a little over four years ago, on July 13, 2017. During a meeting of the US central bank (Fed), the camera focused on then Fed Chair Janet Yellen. As she spoke, Langalis waited for the right moment and held up a sign that said “Buy Bitcoin”. The moment was registered in history, in the videos and in the photo above.
With pen and paper, Langalis took the BTC name to the pinnacle of advertising. From then on, the price of cryptocurrency soared and knowledge about BTC only grew. This image is used whenever someone wants to recommend buying BTC or even as a meme.
Now, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has been a staunch opponent of decentralized cryptocurrencies. This opposition may have a first and last name: Christian Langalis, along with his now legendary plaque.
