The “Buy Bitcoin” sign guy from 2017 actually received 7 BTC just from donations.

Definitely old news but I got curious about the "Buy Bitcoin" sign guy.

"Buy Bitcoin" sign guy with his wallet address

This guy received about 7 bitcoins after he photobombed (former) FED Chair, Janette Yelen, in the congress. At that time in 2017 the price of Bitcoin ranged from $2400-$2500 so that's approximately ~$17,500. At the current price this would be around $200,000.

This is the wallet address of the guy 1GwtZF9QFKWNqCRHLx1Y9adGcrhQSUnNfY – https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/1GwtZF9QFKWNqCRHLx1Y9adGcrhQSUnNfY

He also started a business called Urbit/Tirrel Corp which dabbles on digital asset/land/world much like the metaverse but I can't seem to find more stuff about it so I guess it weren't that successful.
