As it turns out through Bitcoin I met one of the legends of my favorite bands by accident and we became friends before I realized he was one of those people. He was Bitcoin Granny. He has since passed.
I had a conversation with him one time and we were discussing Austrian economics. We got on the subject of music. I told him I played in a punk band and he said oh, me too. Then he asked me what my influencers were. I said, PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED, THE CLASH and the MINUTE MEN. He said, "yeah, played with the Clash and PIL.
I was shocked. I thought he was from Chicago. He was someone I already heard of from Peter McCormack's WHAT BITCOIN DID. He was Keith Ledger.
We became friends online and then he moved on to the other side. He's on our BITCOIN Outlaws podcast.
Great stuff. Sad also.
One day I messaged him and his wife responded that he had passed.
I knew he had cancer and I told him to ignore the doctors and live longer.
His wife shared with me that he loved Bitcoin, Start9 and other things.
I have other stories too. Punk is a psy-op and it's a healing rite.
