I love Bitcoin. I have been fascinated with it since 2013 when I read Satoshi Nakamotos’ paper: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. Around the same time I made my first purchase of Bitcoin. This led to mining Ethereum as a hobby in my basement. This was before mining was even a thing when you could actually get ahold of video cards. I was intrigued that through proof of work I could effectively store energy that could be worth more at a later date. My mind was blown away and my obsession began. I wanted to share my enthusiasm with anyone and everyone but at the time no one even understood what Bitcoin was. Eventually I got out of mining Ethereum. I began to truly understand Bitcoin as the center of a revolution. The revolution of a monetary policy that has been abused by governments for centuries. Fiat is not your friend. What started as fiat backed by gold has ended in a never ending increasing supply that has robbed citizens citizens of their purchasing power to finance wars and push policies and agendas that only further empowers these very governments and politicians that are supposed to protect us. Bitcoin changes everything. I wanted to do something more. Like others I wanted to fight back. So I sold most of my crypto and started Cointill.
Cointill is more than just a Bitcoin ATM business. It is about empowering merchants and individuals to take finances in their own hands. If you are interested in learning more about Bitcoin and how it can change your life check out my book.
