FROM PATAGONIA TO CUSTODIAN OF MILLIONAIRES’ BITCOIN 🐑🇦🇷
Today I learned that the Argentine who convinced Silicon Valley to buy Bitcoin was born in a Patagonian town, the son of a family of shepherds.
Wences Casares watched his family lose everything three times because of inflation, left university to create Argentina’s first internet provider, sold his company Patagon to Banco Santander for 750 million dollars, and later founded Xapo, which came to custody up to 10 billion dollars in $BTC in underground vaults on five continents, including an old Swiss military bunker.
I believe no one understands the value of Bitcoin better than someone who watched their family’s money evaporate time and again.
Do you think you have to live through a crisis like that to truly understand what Bitcoin is for? #Bitcoin
