Jeremy Tan, 34, touts himself as Singapore's "first bitcoin candidate".
The retiree told Mothership that he is not a crypto evangelist, but is primarily interested in bitcoin.
He in fact has a stash of six coins which have come up to around S$660,000.
Tan believes that bitcoin can provide stressed out, tired Singaporeans with needed welfare: "Why is it that I consider this to be very important is because Singaporeans are overworked, the more stressed, with the least sleep."
