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 ๐ฅณ 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 0 reply
