BUY BITCOIN SIGN TURNS 9 YEARS OLD
Nine years ago today, on July 12, 2017, then-22-year-old intern Christian Langalis slipped into the audience behind Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen during her semiannual testimony before Congress and held up a handwritten sign reading just two words: “Buy Bitcoin.”
The sign appeared on live television for only a few seconds before security eventually escorted Langalis from the hearing.
He later said he never expected anyone to notice, believing he would simply save a screenshot from the broadcast as a personal keepsake.
His phone had died before the hearing began, so he didn’t realize the stunt had gone viral until after he left.
Langalis later explained he attended the hearing while working at a macro hedge fund and had grown tired of what he described as “Fed worship.”
As a libertarian influenced by Bitcoin’s cypherpunk roots, he said the sign reflected his broader belief that central banking and state-controlled money should be challenged.
He kept the original sign in a sock drawer for years before auctioning at PubKey in New York in April 2024.
A pseudonymous bidder purchased the piece of Bitcoin history for 16 BTC, worth more than $1 million at the time.
