THE MAN WHO EARNED THE NICKNAME "JESUS" FOR GIVING AWAY 1,000 BITCOINS TO STRANGERS ON THE INTERNET AS IF THEY WERE CANDIES.
Roger Ver was one of the first Bitcoin millionaires. His enthusiasm was so great that people dubbed him "#Bitcoin Jesus".
During the Christmas seasons of 2011 and 2012, Roger felt that the best gift he could give to the world was not a video game console, but financial freedom.
He did something unprecedented: he began giving away Bitcoins en masse.
On radio shows, in forums, and to high school students, Roger distributed thousands of coins. In a famous occasion, he gave away 1,000 Bitcoins to a group of strangers just to let them try the technology.
Those 1,000 BTC that he gave away carelessly would be worth almost 100 million dollars today.
Many of those who received that "Christmas gift" sold it for a few dollars to buy pizza or beer, not knowing that they held in their hands the opportunity to retire for life. Roger remains a controversial figure today, but no one can deny that he was the richest Santa Claus in history.
If a stranger were to give you an unknown cryptocurrency today, would you hold onto it for 10 years or sell it for Christmas dinner?
