“Back in 2011, Shrem purchased ‘many thousands’ of Bitcoins when they were just a few cents a piece. Today, they’re trading at $1,130. On paper, he’s likely worth millions, though, Shrem says, ‘No Bitcoiner will tell you how many Bitcoins they have.’ Even before Bitcoin, Shrem was always looking for a way to turn a buck into two. He grew up in suburban Brooklyn not far from where The Godfather was filmed. He went to Yeshiva of Flatbush, a school for Orthodox Jews known for its academic rigor, but was more interested in computers. When I sat down with Shrem, I asked him to tell me his life story—and an hour later, the tales were still coming.”
