- Last message, "moving on to other things"
Then disappeared... leaving behind BILLIONS and changing Digital Finance forever, Legend

This man is worth $480 MILLION and can’t access a single dollar on his wallet
He is an early Bitcoin dev who worked on some of the first tools in the space
Back in 2011, he got paid 7,002 BTC for making a simple “What is Bitcoin?” video
At the time, it was only worth $2000-$3000
He stored the bitcoin on a super secure USB called an IronKey, Wrote the password down on paper and then later lost it
To make the matter worse, he deleted his backup copies, The drive only gives you 10 tries before it locks forever and already used 8
So now he has 2 guesses left to unlock $480 MILLION+💀

GM, Remember to touch grass today

If you ever feel down, remember that this single Beeple NFT "first 5000 days edition" sold for $69 MILLION to an Investor Named Metakovan in 2021 and he never sold
Right now it's only worth about 1-2 weeks of groceries without any real buyer 💀
NFT season was a really crazy experiment

There is a lot of mainstream attention on to $TAO right now
Grayscale wants to create an OFFICIAL investment product for Bittensor and submitted updated paperwork to the regulator
The network is already being used to run decentralized AI models on everyday hardware, thats the thesis in action
Would not be surprised to see more institutions support with retail attention picking up

No one knows who he is, but he turned $3K in bitcoin into $25 MILLION
Mr. Smith was a regular software engineer in Silicon Valley after 2008, just working a normal tech job
In 2010, a coworker told him about Bitcoin after it pumped from $0.008 to $0.08, Instead of rushing in he took time to understand it
He Spent months researching before making a move
Then in October 2010, he put in $3,000, At around $0.15 per BTC, he got close to 20,000 Bitcoin, He wasn’t thinking short term, just wanted to see where it could go
Then he basically forgot about it, checked it once in a while, but lived his no

GM keep grinding, nothing comes free

While kids his age were buying snacks, he was buying Bitcoin
Erik Finman one of the youngest Bitcoin MILLIONAIRE ever, he grew up in Idaho and didn’t like school
At 12, his grandma gave him about $1,000 meant for college, Instead of saving it, he bought Bitcoin at around $10
His brother was the one who first put him onto it, He then made a deal with his parents
If he could turn that $1K into $1M by 18, they wouldn’t force him to go to college
So he went ALL IN, By 15, he dropped out of school and started focusing on building
As Bitcoin started pumping around 2013, his money grew FAST, He cash

Gm, remember your grind defines your future

Money is moving onchain… and most students don’t even understand how crypto works
@1inch is leading more than 20+ DeFi projects to propose a way to fix this, in the open letter they have recently sent to US business and law schools
Students deserve to understand the how the future internet money should work, lets bring everyone onchain
The proposal in the open letter is simple, add the basics, teach them how it works, how it’s regulated and let them make interactions with some DeFi protocols
And honestly, this makes alot of sense imo bcs the whole world is making use of DeFi, teaching students

Everyone talks about Satoshi Nakamoto but they forget this man
Hal Finney was one of the earliest people in Bitcoin, way before anyone cared about it, he was a cryptographer and helped build early encryption tools like PGP
When Bitcoin first dropped, he was the first person (after Satoshi) to run the software and even received the first ever Bitcoin transaction, 10 BTC from Satoshi in 2009
He was deep in the cypherpunk space and had already built systems similar to Bitcoin years before
But around the same time, he was diagnosed with ALS, a disease that slowly took away his ability to move
