The interesting thing about this is he was a huge positive contributor to so many but didn't have the so called results ($$) everyone wants.
I think many today would pass on someone like this genuinely helping the space for this reason.
Today teachers looked at as boring to many. Not worth there time. Instead they chase the hype of the organized extractors who pretend to be helping people.
A man spent years teaching people about Bitcoin, but when he admitted he wasn't rich from it, one of Bitcoin's biggest figures mocked him. What happened next made him a millionaire.
> Andreas Antonopoulos had been educating people about Bitcoin since 2012.
> He wrote books, gave hundreds of talks and helped thousands of people understand Bitcoin.
> But there was one thing he didn't have, a massive Bitcoin fortune.
> In December 2017, Roger Ver, popularly known as Bitcoin Jesus, questioned why Andreas hadn't become rich from Bitcoin despite being an early advocate.
> Andreas replied that he had actually bought Bitcoin early.
> But in 2013, he sold his holdings to pay rent and support his family.
> He had spent years working on Bitcoin without a steady income and couldn't afford to keep holding.
> That response changed everything.
> Bitcoin supporters began sharing his donation address, encouraging people who had benefited from his work to give something back.
> Within three days, hundreds of donations had poured in.
> One person sent 79 bitcoin:native, while another donation was worth $1.2 MILLION at the time.
> By December 8, Andreas had received approximately 102 bitcoin:native worth $1.6 MILLION at the time.
> At today's Bitcoin price, those 102 bitcoin:native would be worth approximately $7.5 MILLION.
> Andreas was so overwhelmed that he described reading the messages with tears in his eyes.
> He had spent years helping people discover Bitcoin and when the community found out he wasn't wealthy, they sent him a fortune.
