Down 50% one week, up 30% the next. With so many of us scratching our heads trying to make sense of Bitcoin and the other major cryptocurrencies - especially given their recent extreme price volatility - I decided it was time to pull in an expert - one of the earliest and most active pioneers in the crypto space. Early blockchain pioneer Dan Larimer shares a lot of great insights in this interview I hadn't heard before here. But in short, he sees a continued wild ride ahead.
Adam Taggart is the President and Co-Founder of Peak Prosperity. He wears many hats, but his basic job is to handle the business side of things so that his fellow co-founder, Chris Martenson, is free to think and write. Adam is an experienced Silicon Valley internet executive and Stanford MBA. Prior to partnering with Chris (Adam was General Manager of our earlier site, ChrisMartenson.com), he was a Vice President at Yahoo!, a company he served for nine years. Before that, he did the 'startup thing' (mySimon.com, sold to CNET in 2001). As a fresh-faced graduate from Brown University in the early 1990s, Adam got a first-hand look at all that was broken with Wall Street as an investment banking analyst for Merrill Lynch. Most importantly, he's a devoted husband and dad.
