I hold a bachelor’s degree in economics and business administration, specializing in international management, and a master’s degree in economics and business administration, with a focus on information management.
Since 2008, I have been interested in various aspects of the financial world, primarily researching the causes of the global financial crisis and exploring other phenomena related to the history of money and the fiat and reserve credit system that shape our economy and permeates our world today. I have had several sales and consulting jobs and have been actively involved in small rental property investments for over 15 years, as well as closely following the tech space. Most recently, I worked for 3 years as an information security and privacy consultant. Since 2020, my focus has been primarily on Bitcoin while continuously keeping myself updated and learning about the importance of information security and privacy, which happens to be very important in the realm of Bitcoin as well. With Rizon Capital, I aspire to expand knowledge and help demystify some of the false assumptions that are easy to ascribe to if one only looks at the surface of Bitcoin. I have spent thousands of hours studying these subjects and it is my hope that clients will acquire the essential knowledge needed to navigate and make informed decisions, ultimately maximizing the potential of this technology that I strongly believe is poised to revolutionize the world.
In 2013, while pursuing my bachelor’s in business administration and international management, I worked in the online payments industry, where I first encountered Bitcoin. Unfortunately, at that moment, I didn’t explore it further.
My journey into the world of Bitcoin began in late 2016 when I encountered Bitcoin for the second time while working on my master’s thesis at Aarhus University. The research project focused on digital identities and how blockchain technology could assist finance and insurance companies in meeting KYC and AML requirements while complying with privacy regulations like GDPR.
This is when I delved deeper into the fascinating world of Bitcoin, its technology, and its potential impact on global finance. Since then, I have come to believe that Bitcoin will have an impact on the world that far exceeds that of the global financial system.
Bitcoin holds diverse meanings for different individuals, and understanding its true essence is no simple task. It’s important to note that „Bitcoin‟ refers to the network itself, while „bitcoin‟ denotes the individual units of the asset, equivalent to 100,000,000 satoshis (sats). Similar to euros or dollars, bitcoin can be divided into fractions; for example, we have 100 cents for a dollar, and we have 100,000,000 sats for one bitcoin.
Conceptually, Bitcoin operates as a permissionless, decentralized, and trustless ledger, facilitating pseudonymous transactions with the native asset, bitcoin or satoshis, on its network.
Numerous technologies are being developed on top of the Bitcoin network, including the lightning network, solidifying Bitcoin’s role as a robust base layer, not merely a means of transferring bitcoin.
One of Bitcoin’s standout features is its absolute scarcity, with a limited supply of only 21 million bitcoins, along with its proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism, making it the most decentralized and secure network globally. Understanding the history of money, credit, and the fractional reserve fiat money system currently shaping our world, and how Bitcoin stands in contrast with its absolute limited supply of 21 million bitcoins, has left me realizing that Bitcoin has the potential to impact the world in ways that few, if any, can imagine. As the Bitcoin network continues to grow, reaching new all-time highs across all metrics, bitcoin is progressively being recognized as a pristine collateral asset and the purest form of money. Its properties remain immutable, free from manipulation by any person, organization, or government.
In my pursuit of understanding Bitcoin’s implications, I have been actively involved in various Bitcoin projects, attending conferences worldwide, meeting experts, educators, business owners, and passionate enthusiasts. Some notable destinations include El Salvador, Lugano in Switzerland, Miami, Riga, Prague, Oslo and more.
With Rizon Capital, I aspire to expand knowledge and help demystify some of the false assumptions that are easy to ascribe too if one only looks at the surface of Bitcoin. Most articles and headlines regarding Bitcoin are full of mistakes, and the media coverage is historically generally far from the truth. I believe Bitcoin will make the world a better place and improve the lives of many. I am confident in saying that I possess a deep understanding of the transformative power of Bitcoin and the ability to provide expert advice and guidance to anyone interested in learning more about the technology.
