View submission: 12-Year-Old’s Lost Video Has Resurfaced, Discussing Bitcoin at $8 and the Power of Peer-to-Peer Transactions

tldr; In 2011, a 12-year-old named Tom recorded a YouTube video explaining Bitcoin, then valued at $8, as a 'peer-to-peer virtual currency.' The video, unnoticed for 13 years, was recently rediscovered by crypto enthusiasts, who hailed Tom as a visionary. This led to the creation of a Solana-based memecoin, $TPU, in his honor. The video highlighted Bitcoin's decentralized nature and predicted government challenges. Since then, Bitcoin has become a trillion-dollar asset, and peer-to-peer transactions have expanded significantly, influencing finance and technology.
