Bitcoin Reaches Mount Everest
May 24, 2024
Dadvan Yousuf, a 23-year-old crypto enthusiast born in Iraq, successfully climbed the world’s highest mountain on May 20 and unfurled the iconic orange Bitcoin flag at the summit of Mount Everest. “A symbol of freedom and independence, even at the highest places in the world,” he wrote in a post. The Dubai-based crypto investor and businessman, whose net worth exceeded $300 million, saw the Everest summit as an opportunity to use his success to draw attention to the global lack of financial literacy.
