my life before bitcoin

F.A.Hayek Foundation - executive manager of the very first Future of Money conference in Central Europe
ViaGold - co-founder the very first online business where you could buy stuff in exchange for your gold holdings via GoldMoney payment network in 2011

EUREKA moment 2012

GoldMoney, which was the gold payment processor for our venture - ViaGold, has decided to cut off it's payment network under heavy regulatory scrutiny conducted by tax authorities. That event has ruined our business model immediately and we started looking for an alternative.

We discovered Bitcoin and it's unique uncensorable properties quite quickly, but it's high volatility at that time did not allow us to utilize it as a payment alternative. 

We went out of business learning an important lesson: "Trusted Third Party Payment Networks Are  Business Threats"

My References

Martin set up my business processes very well. He made migration from absolute punk to CRM (which hurt me, but I have to admit, it bore it's fruit) and manages everything I don't have to. Because of that, I can devote myself fully to technical matters and training. If you need advice in similar area of expertise, try asking Martin.

My projects

Czech translation of "The Bitcoin standard"

Saifedean Ammous wrote spectacular compilation on the history of money putting Bitcoin brilliantly into the context.

Convincing my friends to read it and learn from it is a harsh task. They usually lack the ability to read scholar English. So I have decided to manage the translation it into Czech.

I will find sponsors willing to finance translation and buy the rights from Wiley. However there is plenty of work to do and I am looking for enthusiast collaborators with following capabilities:

  1. Translate the book
  2. Arrange distribution and sales
  3. Arrange marketing

Write me an email if you want to participate on this project and contribute your small share into the rising ecosystem of freedom.

hobby project: make delorean machine great again

Lambo, in my humble opinion, is highly overrated car in the Bitcoin community. Please consider these compelling arguments for the DMC machine before buying new car once we MOON: 

  • futuristic-ish design
  • appearance in the cult movie "Back to the Future"
  • manufacturer wasn't owned by FIAT. ever.

BITCOIN

Bitcoin, also known as Magic Internet Money, is a nascent technology which has already been around for about a decade. Bitcoin isn't new PayPal, it is radically new form of absolutely scarce money which never existed before. It is something entirely novel and very disruptive. Bitcoin is uncensorable, unconfiscatable, ultra-hard type of money designed by engineers as an ultimate store of value instrument for 21st century.

Bitcoin is for everyone who has a low risk tolerance for worst-case economic scenarios. It protects its owners against price inflation, secures its owners against bank collapses and serves its owners as a safe deposit in an environment of zero & negative interest rate globally.

Bitcoin behaves more like Digital Gold in longtime periods despite it's short term volatility. If you buy Bitcoin, you are putting your savings and faith in a mathematical framework that is free of politics and human error. However the mental toughness to hold it long term requires deep investment in your education.

I am ready to help you deep dive into the Bitcoin rabbit hole. Welcome.
