It's 2015, almost 10 years ago and at the time, I'm about to get traumatized My co-founder and I are just starting as entrepreneurs We are in an angel investor meetup. We need money... At the time, we are building a remittance startup with better rates than all players I am talking with an angel investor, he is amazed UNTIL he asked "how do you do it?" "what is the underlying tech?" We answer " Bitcoin as a backbone, it's efficient" At the time, Bitcoin adoption is low, barely 500,000 people know of its potential value And the mainstream media keep repeating: "Bitcoin is evil" This angel investment was important for us We were entrepreneurs in their twenties When the investor heard the word "Bitcoin", he stood up, mentioned "Bitcoin, this is bad stuff" And he left I wish him a happy 100,000 milestone 🥳 for the "evil" Bitcoin that was worth ~200 dollars at the time We have been right. The technology is key. Around 600 million people have adopted crypto since then It's just the beginning
