On April 25th, three bundles of sticky notes might sell for as little as $8.99 on Amazon. However, a sticky note with the words "Buy Bitcoin" was sold for a whopping $1.027 million at an auction after an intern waved the hastily made sign in front of the camera while televising the congressional testimony of then-Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen in 2017. The sign quickly became a rallying cry for a small but rapidly growing community of crypto developers and investors, and is now a sign of a cryptocurrency recovery. Since then, the price of bitcoin has soared from around $2,300 to a record high of nearly $74,000 in March this year. According to the auction site Scare City, which conducted the auction, an anonymous buyer bought the slogan for 16 bitcoins. < br > < img src = "https://flash-scdn.jin10.com/b1b31422-3751-4769-bbbb-59e5dfa3d1f6.png" referrerpolicy = "no-referrer" >
