I agree that he is a legend. He was last active on the forum in 2019. I do wonder where these bitcoin OGs are and what they are currently doing. I also wonder about where the people who laughed at them when they spoke fanatically about Bitcoin, where they are currently doing. I wonder if they eventually invested in Bitcoin or are still stuck with their beliefs against Bitcoin.

Retiring early with a huge stash is what I think they had in mind. If they didn't cash out in 2017 or 2013 or some other previous date.

what is really surprising about this story is the fact that he was allowed to teach something to the kids especially one that involves an innovation that is not yet well accepted by most. it is definitely a graded effort Wink

i am not sure how this would have been possible especially nowadays where the parents can be reasonably scared for their child it’s not about bitcoin itself but the thought of a random guy teaching your kids when he is not an authority might come off as a threat.

It's not simply about parents being scared for their child now, parents practically own the teachers nowadays, and if a student complains about something and calls their parent, the parent usually takes their side against the teacher, which makes it hard for them to actually teach about anything. Let alone maintain any order in the classroom.
