Meet a PIVian interview series by Valderrama - yeesypeasy
Last Week @Valderrama from @PIVX conducted an interview to understand my general interest and drive behind Cryptocurrency and PIVX, in general. I also talked abit about my investing approach to a this volatile market.
Here's a small snippet of the interview.
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Hi! I'm Andrew and I’m currently based in the sunny tropical island city of Singapore. It is pretty much the financial hub of the region. Here we see a lot of ICO and blockchain innovation activity and that's because of the principal-based regulation which promotes innovation, foster trust and transparency and seeks to protect all stakeholders involved.
When and why did you get into cryptocurrency?
I had first heard about Bitcoin somewhere in 2011 or 2012 when Bitcoin initially surged to 1000 USD and it was something that was reported on the mainstream radio. Bitcoin popularity waned soon after that, however it stuck with me not because of the decentralization aspect or the benefits of the ability to make payments within a trust-less environment. But it was a revelation to me in terms of what I considered as money. This is something which a huge portion of the public still struggles culturally with to get into adopting cryptocurrency.
With this revelation, I invested into virtual world items and profited out of it during the early 2010s. It was how I tested the water of relying on an in-game currency and benefiting from it. More details can be found on my first Steemit post by clicking here.
