Bitcoin billionaire will throw 100,000 kroner out to Copenhageners | BT Society - www.bt.dk It literally pulls up to rain of money in inner Copenhagen. On Friday, the bitcoin billionaire Niklas Nikolajsen will throw around with banknotes to the random Copenhageners he comes driving past in his extravagant Rolls Royce. In total, he will give away 100,000 kroner from his luxury car, divided into 2,000 fifty kroner banknotes. ‘I want to create some awareness about the bar I am opening. And then it befits a host to be generous when he holds a party, "says Niklas Nikolajsen. The Danish billionaire, who has created his fortune as chairman of the board of the cryptocurrency bank Bitcoin Suisse, which he himself co-founded in 2013, tells how the distribution of the money will take place from around 4 pm: »I will sit down in the afternoon at the back of my Rolls (Royce, ed.) with a large mailbag filled with banknotes. They are tumble dried so they are easy to separate. Then I will shout, 'Get on Luke's' and throw money out of the car,' he says. The rain of money is expected to last two to three hours. The cash gift rain continues at the new rock, metal and whiskey bar Luke's in Klosterstræde, which Niklas Nikolajsen has come from his castle in Switzerland to inaugurate this weekend. Niklas Nikolajsen will literally throw money at himself from his car.

Niklas Nikolajsen says that he has asked his lawyer to check the legality of giving money to others without further ado. "You must not destroy the king's coin, but neither do we," he says, adding that the lucky ones who get hold of the flying banknotes can with a little care remove the sticker with Luke's logo, which has all 2,000 banknotes. got pasted. That work has, incidentally, taken an employee 18 hours to perform, it reads. Niklas Nikolajsen has earned his fortune by investing in bitcoins.

"I must not give more than - I think it is 10,000 kroner - without advising that tax must be paid on it," he says. However, it is unlikely that anyone will run from the Inner City with their arms full of fifties. “I do this within what is traffic safe. The cart will drive around and around and I will throw some money here and there to avoid large gatherings. If I threw 20,000 kroner at once, you could imagine that there could be problems with people who came up to fight, "says Niklas Nikolajsen. The Rolls Royce with the 100,000 kroner on board will circulate on smaller roads in Indre By between Nørreport, Christiansborg, Rådhuspladsen and Kongens Nytorv. ‘I stay away from the major roads for traffic reasons. I do not need anyone to throw themselves in front of a car to catch a banknote. ”The Bitcoin billionaire obviously has a good nose for good investments. However, he does not expect 'Luke's to become a gold mine. Thus, it is not the possibility of a solid return that is the reason for the rock bar to open. The billionaire's motive is far more personal. Niklas Nikolajsen is seen here with his best friend and co-owner of the bar Luke's, Luke Graee. Niklas Nikolajsen says that 12 years ago he was quite flat financially and at one point needed a place to live. "My best friend, Luke Graee, offered me shelter until I got a foothold," says Niklas Nikolajsen and continues: "I promised that if I found gold at the end of the rainbow down in Switzerland, I should probably remember that we had talked about opening a bar together. He reminded me of that a couple of years ago, and I keep my promise. ”Should it happen that Copenhagen is exposed to heavy rain on Friday, Niklas Nikolajsen reserves the right to postpone its cash distribution until Saturday. With that reservation, it's just a matter of showing up. "If people look happy and fresh, then there is money," says Niklas Nikolajsen.
