This is an original BitInstant promotional sticker, one of the few surviving pieces from the Bitcoin 2013 Conference in San Jose, California, the first major Bitcoin conference held in the United States.
Thousands of these stickers were used to "orange pill" new bitcoiners, and they have been lost to time. Only these 10 remain.
After my arrest in 2014, all of my Bitcoin and BitInstant memorabilia was left for trash in a box above a nightclub for years until my girlfriend (now wife) Courtney Warner luckily retrieved it.
I co-founded BitInstant in 2011, and by 2013, it had grown to process nearly 30% of all Bitcoin transactions worldwide. Back then, buying Bitcoin wasn’t easy, exchanges were slow, banking rails were clunky, and mainstream adoption was just a dream. BitInstant became the bridge, letting people walk into thousands of stores and walk out with Bitcoin almost instantly.
At Bitcoin 2013, we had a booth with our big white-and-orange banner, “Time is Money”, and stacks of these stickers to hand out. If you were there, you remember the energy: 1,000 people packed into the San Jose Convention Center, a mix of developers, cypherpunks, libertarians, investors, and dreamers. It was the conference where the Bitcoin Foundation made its big debut, where Erik Voorhees, Roger Ver, Gavin Andresen, and so many others were mingling in the same room. We were all just trying to show the world what this strange new money could do.
This particular sticker has been signed and numbered 2/10 in 2025 by me, Charlie Shrem. The bold orange and blue logo was our way of showing speed and direction, arrows crossing paths, just like money flowing instantly through the system we built. The reverse side carries my handwritten signature, the year, and the edition number.
