That's super cool. I wish they would have showed more of the creation of the trophy.
I am really trying to absorb more bitcoin history. Sadly, the only thing I know about one of the winners is that I think Mercea Popescu threatened to (not really, he was making a point) murder Pieter Wuille. Now I'll learn more about them both.
IIRC the dude threatened nearly every living bitcoiner before he mysteriously died himself.
