The short history of dedication, courage, hope and gratitude, from zero to $ 2 Milion USD in 2 days…
Something fantastic happened yesterday.
Roger Ver, investor, early adopter and one of the main supporters of Bitcoin CASH, which would be, according to him and his followers the “true” Bitcoin, published this comment on twitter.
Replying for a twitter comment from Andreas M. Antonopolus, who will allow me to call only Tony, as we commented in private groups that I attend the University of Nicosia where Tony is one of the teachers, where he said that he was not a millionaire because he had invested everything he had in first two years, since he discovered #Blockchain, to teach and evangelize without charging anything for it.
Tony answered directly on Twitter only 40 minutes later, as he was speaking at an event that day.
This is Roger Ver talk of Bitcoin last week, image that won the world as open-source meme. Please do not call “Bitcoin Cash” as Bcash near him…
While Tony responded in a politically correct way and with all the education of a gentleman the other users, influencers and voices of twitter were not so sweet with Roger that generated hundreds of answers and comments that you can follow in the twitter link.
The point is that most of the 10 million people who ever had any contact with Tony did not like the comment and took to the side of a criticism like, “Wow, you had contact with Bitcoin in 2012 and today you have nothing?”
The fact is that this has generated a worldwide chain effect by creating a chain of good and suggesting that people make donations to the Patreon site where Tony keeps an account and today is his biggest source of income. In the same site it informs its address of a wallet that has its name in the hash.
Well, Andreas traveled home in Greece and made a stopover in Paris, where he finally begins to understand what happened. By connecting to the data network there were already over $ 500,000 worth of donations in your wallet and all your communication channels had thousands of messages of support and recognition to his work!
And finally, a few hours later comes the next message.
“Words are my craft, but tonight I’m speechless”
The other day Tony publishes again, now with more than $ 1.5 M USD in his wallet …
And he also send his response to his supporters at Patreon who in a few hours became public on reddit.
And later it was sent by email to all his followers.
He comments that he read the messages and answers crying with emotion for the recognition of his work.
I confess that this episode is one of the most heart touching in this crypto-journey.
Congratulations, Tony.
Keep up the great work and all votes that in the next year you will reach exponentially people and bring knowledge to much more than ten millions.
