- A TV personality in China refused to accept 100 bitcoin for free in 2014.
- Five years later, he was again offered free BTCs but again, he refused.
- Bitcoin performs better than fiat currency in the four properties of sound money.
If you were offered 100 bitcoin for free, would you hesitate to jump on the opportunity? Chances are, you won’t think twice to supercharge your stockpile of satoshis. With bitcoin trading around $7,000, 100 BTCs is worth $700,000
Well, a certain professor and TV host in China was offered 100 BTCs for free on air. His name is Lang Xianping, also known as “Larry.” Back in 2014, the lucky professor shocked the crypto community when he refused the offer. At the time, the top cryptocurrency was trading at $650.
Here’s a clip of the show from 2014 (with the meme ending).
At that time, 100 $BTC was about USD $65,000.
Today, that’s over $700,000! pic.twitter.com/ty54upovlX— Bobby Lee – Ballet: Simple & Elegant Wallet (@bobbyclee) November 26, 2019
According to Larry, the number one cryptocurrency has no value. Would he change his mind now that bitcoin is worth $700,000?
Apparently, the professor is sticking to his guns. Recently, Larry was asked again on TV if he would accept free bitcoin. Surprisingly, he insisted on refusing because “it’s worthless.”
Remember in 2014, TV host professor Lang Xianping “Larry” would NOT accept Bitcoin even if given to him for free, b/c he thinks it’s worthless.🤨
Now 5 yrs later, he was just asked again about this on a TV interview: still insisting he would refuse $BTC b/c “it’s worthless.” 😂🤣 https://t.co/6LGDgMkpq3 pic.twitter.com/EjrGoPYKhh— Bobby Lee – Ballet: Simple & Elegant Wallet (@bobbyclee) November 26, 2019
I’m not sure what Larry is smoking but I’m having none of that. Thinking that bitcoin is worthless is hypocritical and shows total ignorance of how money works.
Bitcoin Is Outperforming Paper Currency
I hope Larry gets to read this article so…
