Vice: Living, Breathing, & Betting on Bitcoin

in #bitcoin7 years ago (edited)

Vice just released a video interview with Olaf Carlson-Wee. Olaf is the founder and CEO of Polychain Capital a cryptocurrency hedge fund.

In the interview Olaf explains how he got into Bitcoin and how being an early adopter made himself and his friends extremely wealthy.

Olaf also goes on to explain how his journey was not always easy and was never conventional.

I am sure a lot of us can relate to Olaf's struggle to explain Bitcoin and his work to others.

Olaf is truly an innovator and visionary. At the end of the interview he discusses the future of cryptocurrency. One of the possibilities he sees is the use of cryptocurrency in smart cars. He envisions a world where cars own themselves and they use cryptocurrency to enter into contracts and deals such as getting an oil change.

Interestingly, there is an ICO called DOVU which is looking to become the cryptocurrency for mobility, especially smart cars. They have been endorsed by both Jaguar and Landrover and there are rumors of other car manufacturers who are taking an interest in the ICO.

The DOVU crowdsale is live.

Hey, are you going to be on Rogue Money again? Litecoin seems undervalued to me at the moment but atomic swaps could change that hopefully.

I am not sure, I have been so busy working on crypto projects I haven't really had much time for blogging or interviews.

I was pushing LTC when it was around $10...$50 is a nice move :)
But that doesnt mean it wont move higher, I think there is a lot of potential for LTC , I think LTCs value is in it being great for transactions, if we see some large scale payment adoption for LTC that would make things very interesting. Atomic swaps and other advancements LTC developments could push the price higher as well. If you are on twitter I definitely recommend following LTC creator Charlie Lee you can get some good nuggets of info there, and he is also pretty funny :)

Just got to your page. I will definitely go through alot of the material you have posted. Im new here so alot of learning is in order so thanks for the good content!

The Dovu concept makes perfect sense. I am excited for the day of self-driving cars where payments are automated and I can do Steemit posts on the way to my destination. 😎

Haha, I am just waiting until we all have our own hover cars and space ships ;)

Haha, it won’t be long. ;)

why steem is not going up?

Steemit has undegone a lot of changes in the last few weeks, could account for some of the price volatility
