Trace Mayer on the Past, Present, and Future of Bitcoin

Unfortunately, Brett Strapper will not be able to speak at the meetup as he had to make a very important (and fortunate) business trip which should be very beneficial to his company and Bitcoin in general.

Fortunately, San Diego native Trace Mayer has graciously offered to speak instead.

Trace Mayer is an entrepreneur, investor, journalist, monetary scientist and ardent defender of the freedom of speech. He holds a degree in Accounting and a law degree. He has studied Austrian economics focusing on the work of Murray Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises.

He is a key investor in the Bitcoin Armory wallet and Bitpay.

Trace Mayer has appeared on Canada’s national financial network BNN, BBC, ABC, NBC, FOX (which even made it into The Colbert Report’s episode Bitcoin Plunge!) many radio shows, conferences, to many private groups and is syndicated through Seeking Alpha, Yahoo! Finance and MarketWatch.

He was among the first popular bloggers to publicly recommend Bitcoin in its infancy with a market cap under $2m and well before its massive rise over $11B in November 2013. He serves on the Editorial Board for the Bitcoin Magazine which receives millions of visitors per year and has presented on Bitcoin, both objectively and persuasively, to a wide variety of audiences including members of the Federal Reserve, Bundesbank, major financial institutions, the IRS, FBI, HNWIs, conferences and many others.
