4. “By dedicating my life to crypto assets and blockchain technology, I’ve made more money than I would have ever expected to make in my entire life — by a long shot.” — Jeremy Gardner
Jeremey Gardner fell in love with bitcoin when he realized that anyone in the world with an internet connection could send money to anyone else. Buying bitcoin in 2013, he dove deeper into the technology and began giving more and more to the cryptocurrency industry.
He founded The BlockChain Education network which is a nonprofit educating people about blockchain technology, he launched Augur which is a decentralised prediction market, and he shared a three-story house in San Francisco known as the ‘Crypto-Castle’ that was home to over 6 multi-millionaires.
“We’ve been told that it’s going to die so many times. And yet here it is, stronger than ever. I think there’s a certain sense of vindication if you were investing in this technology and people were calling you stupid for a long time,” Gardner said.
