Frankie MacDonald, an amateur meteorologist based in Nova Scotia, has recently been using his platform to talk up Bitcoin in his charismatic voice.
In a series of tweets beginning Aug. 8, MacDonald posted videos stating his views on the cryptocurrency to his 118,500 followers. The Canadian weatherman said that Bitcoin (BTC) is “worth more than American dollars,” taking viewers through the numbers if they owned anywhere from 1 BTC — $12,007 as of press time — to 10 million BTC, or over $160 billion at the time.
