I remember when I first heard about Bitcoin or when I first became aware of it because
You know, I think you tend to sort of think back and it's like, actually, I've probably seen the word Bitcoin.
I've probably seen the symbol around, but it hadn't registered with me.
But then one day, 2013, I was living in East London and I walked into a pub that was about 10 minutes from where I was living, from the flat.
And there was a sign behind the bar saying, we accept Bitcoin.
Bitcoin accepted here.

So we kind of talked about it, and he sort of gave an outline of what it was.
