Olympic bobsledder Johnny Quinn is the latest sporting celebrity to swallow the orange pill. In a Twitter thread, he shared his best of Bitcoin (BTC) education while welcoming the Bitcoin class of 2022.
As a Class of 2021 #Bitcoin-er, I would like to unofficially-officially welcome the Class of 2022. Buckle up for a legacy impacting journey. First things first: it is critical that you to develop a proper framework regarding #BTC. Attached is your required reading list. Thread 🧵

As well as instructing his fans to digest his reading list, “no excuses. Get it done;” Quinn says that “under no circumstance do you take orders from the mainstream. They are confused.”
He backs his statement with a swathe of media reports and headlines from September 2017 onwards showing large institutional players such as Visa, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs making a U-turn on Bitcoin.
The most potent 180-degree switch is Jamie Dimon’s JPMorgan. From the CEO lambasting Bitcoin in 2017, the world’s largest investment bank now promotes Bitcoin as an investment vehicle:

In a word to the wise, the Olympian also suggests avoiding “moon-boys.” Typically cryptocurrency YouTubers and influencers, moon-boys encourage risky trading techniques in the pursuit of Lamborghinis; or more recently, showing off an NFT to their followers. Instead, Quinn suggests:
“Dollar cost averaging your Bitcoin position with a long time horizon (not using leverage) is the play.”
Quinn joins a budding list of Bitcoiner sports bros. From NFL stars and NBA champions taking their annual salaries in Bitcoin, to humble Bedford football (soccer) club putting “Bitcoin at its heart;” the competitive world of sports is a hotbed for Bitcoin adoption.
Quinn began tweeting about Bitcoin in early 2021, completing one of Michael Saylor’s “Bitcoin for everybody” online courses in Autumn last year. He has since become a vocal supporter of Bitcoin, while indubitably overlapping with self-promotion.
The Twitter thread by “Coach Quinn, Bitcoin Class of 2021,” was well received by the Bitcoin Twitter community, as well as his 19,000 followers. Founder of U.S.-based Swan Bitcoin, Cory Swan, retweeted the thread saying it’s a “great thread for Newcoiners!”
