Bitcoin is a game of patience. Daniel has been here a while and has shown more patience than most.
Founder of HardBlock.com.au – Australia's oldest Bitcoin only exchange – he's stayed true to his principles since finding Bitcoin in 2013. There have been hurdles and challenges along the way. Brendo and I sat down with him to hear his story and seek his advice. It left us with plenty to consider. We discuss:
- What it’s like being in Bitcoin full-time for 9 years
- Starting a Bitcoin business 4 months after discovering Bitcoin
- Jumping in on the 2013 price spike, and being underwater for 2 years
- Coming from a computer system engineering and economics background
- His rapid fall down the rabbit hole
- Never really having a “real job”
- Seeing a Bitcoin therapist
- Being part of a social revolution
- Managing risk in a Bitcoin business
- Being de-banked more than 20 times
- Building a service you’re happy to recommend to family and friends
- Encouraging customers to self-custody
- Shitcoin casinos
- Can you build a Bitcoin only business and why
- Industry bodies
- The ethics of advertising
- How you reach decisions
- Can a business outperform Bitcoin
- Local not global
