Although SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci is a passionate Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) advocate today, there was a time he couldn’t make sense of it at all—despite early exposure to Satoshi-era figures.
Scaramucci Couldn’t Care Less About BTC At A Time
On a podcast with Liz Thomas that aired April 15, Scaramucci revealed that he was introduced to Bitcoin back in 2011 while attending a presentation by Hal Finney, the late software developer who received the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto.
“I did not understand it,” Scaramucci added. The skepticism stuck around for a while. Fast forward to 2013, Scaramucci took to X, then Twitter, to declare that he didn't know what a Bitcoin was, and couldn't care less.
Scaramucci then recalled that he was reintroduced to Bitcoin during a conference in Las Vegas, where the Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, came over and began telling him about the leading cryptocurrency.
