Man Who Flashed ‘Buy Bitcoin’ at 2017 Congressional Hearing Sells Sign for $1M

Nearly 7 years later, Christian Langalis, the man who wrote “Buy Bitcoin” on a yellow notepad and flashed it on live TV, has now sold the sign at an online auction.

Langalis was a 22-year-old intern during a 2017 Congressional hearing of the then-United States Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen. However, he soon became a sensation, especially among a community of crypto developers and investors, after the act that saw him immediately escorted off the premises at the time.

According to the Bitcoin auction platform Scarce City, the sign has now sold to the highest bidder for 16 Bitcoin, around $1.027 million.

The buyer, identified as “Justin” aka “Squirrekkywrath”, went home with the prize after an auction that lasted for a week. The auction ended a few minutes after 11:00 pm. UTC on April 24.

Congratulations to Justin, A.K.A. Squirrekkywrath, winner of the #BitcoinSignGuy auction for 16 License.
