Jenny Hoff: Brian, thanks so much for joining me today.
Brian Evans: Yeah. Thanks for having me, appreciate it.
Hoff: There are so many things that we could talk about. You’re a very successful entrepreneur and marketer, but we’re going to zero in today on cryptocurrencies. It’s not just bitcoin anymore but even bitcoin, I think, is still an obscure technology for many of us. Before we delve into everything we want to know about cryptocurrencies, can you first tell me a little bit about how you got involved in the cryptocurrency game and learned the insider secrets about what’s becoming this new asset class?
Evans: It’s actually a funny story. A roommate of mine when I was in college, he was mining bitcoin in the room next to me. And back then, bitcoin was worth like cents on the dollar, it was basically worth nothing and he was telling me, “You gotta buy some of these bitcoins.” And so, I ended up buying stuff. I had like maybe 50 or so.
Hoff: Good on you.
Evans: So, listen to this, story gets crazy from here. I had it in my thumb drive, I moved about seven times back from 2012, I think it was, or 11, until now, and I lost the thumb drive. So that was 50 bitcoins that are now worth several hundred thousand dollars. .....................
Hoff: All right. And you write a lot about this on your website and you interview a lot of people. Sos you’ve really been into the game, you’ve talked to the experts, you’ve seen how the inner workings are, you’ve seen the “cryptocurrency junkies” as I call them that move on to the next big one to make sure they’re not just making 10 times their money, they want to make 1,000, 2,000 times their money. ................"
