That was like, for example, Roger Ver.

You know, Roger Ver, you know, he famously, you know, learned about Bitcoin.

He was living in Japan.

He read the white paper.

He is like, this can't be true.

If this is true, it's going to change the world.

He literally spent several days.

I've heard him tell the story and I talk about my book.

He spent several days trying to disprove it.

He literally stayed up night after night to the point that he got hospitalized for exhaustion.

And this is a young guy in his early 30s who was a martial arts fighter, and he got exhausted to the point that he had to be hospitalized.

When he got out of the hospital, he put a quarter of a million dollars into Bitcoin and a dollar of Bitcoin.

Wow.

Yeah, that's back what it was.

That's what it was back then.

And he still has it?

Well, he's a multibillionaire.

He unfortunately has had some disputes with the U.S.

government over taxes.

You can Google it, and I think it's kind of crazy that they're not just simply saying, here's the amount, pay your penalty, et cetera, but he's right now in sort of confinement, not in prison, but you can't leave Spain.
