The guy who held up the "Buy Bitcoin" sign on live TV yesterday is receiving a lot of love from the Bitcoin community. He has already received 4.62 BTC in donations from people around the world! This is how the crypto space works. Do something of value to the network, then it pays you.
Here you can check out his Bitcoin wallet:

In case you have missed the hilarious news yesterday... While the Chair of the Federal Reserve, the American Central Bank, Janet Yellen was speaking to the House Financial Services Committee yesterday, someone held up a sign saying "buy bitcoin". Here's a video of this enjoyable moment:
It's the best advice I've ever heard while watching a video from a central bankster. The timing was also absolutely brilliant. Yellen just started to defend the transparancy of the Fed. Nothing is more transparent than a cryptocurrency with a public blockchain and an open protocol.
Donations
Shortly after this epic moment, people from all over the world began to donate Bitcoin to the guy. Someone even donated a whole Bitcoin worth $2366:
At this moment he has received 4.628 BTC which has a value of $11,060 USD. You earned it dude :)
A hero was born yesterday! Some people even call him the new Bitcoin Jesus, because he sacrificed his career for the sake of Bitcoin. The hilarious moment was broadcasted on live TV and gives a lot of media attention to Bitcoin. The video is going viral and many news media have written about the happening. CNBC tweeted about the buy Bitcoin sign to their 2.7 million followers.
Can we do a similar thing for Steemit? Who can manage to hold a "Join Steemit.com" sign on live TV?
Thanks for sharing awesome post rstmd!

I believe he was an intern and lost his internship as a result. Hardly surprising. His timing was perfect though, just as the news headline was about Yellens opposition to an audit of the Fed!

The government wants to raise interest rates which is a tax on everything that is bought and sold, and why do they want to raise rates (MONEY). This only forces Americans to work more pay more then pay taxes to state, and federal at the end of the year. They seem to be wearing nice suits and driving nice cars while everyone barely gets by. Getting on cryptos, banks take a table we the people have to take charge. Thanks for the info

I don't think they'll be able to raise much further -- Yellen is slowly shifting her position to make the case that "normalization" isn't that far away because she knows US debt is unserviceable at historical fed funds level. Stagnant, slow growth economy for next 5-10 years probably.

I don't think a sign like that would be good enough for steemit. A steemit sign would be better with a little explanation as well, such as "Get paid for your posts, upvotes and comments."
