Christian Langalis, a 22-year-old intern at the Cato Institute and a Bitcoin enthusiast, authored a written message that ignited both controversy and admiration. The largest bid of 2.2 BTC has been placed by an individual known as @BITPAINTCLUB. Langalis expressed his belief in Bitcoin’s rise within institutional finance in 2017 and announced his decision to auction off a significant Bitcoin amount.
The conclusion of the auction is scheduled for April 24, and the winner will be announced at a Bitcoin-themed eatery in New York, where Langalis works.
