Adam O'Brien is a bitcoin entrepreneur and the CEO of Bitcoin Well, the first publicly traded bitcoin company in the world that allows customers to self-custody their bitcoin. Bitcoin Well also operates over 250+ bitcoin ATM's across Canada.
Adam's startup story is very inspiring. He bootstrapped his company from one bitcoin ATM in Edmonton, to over 250 ATM's across the country, listing his company on the TSX, and doing ~$100M in annual revenue.
Apart from learning about his incredible business, and what it takes to operate a publicly traded bitcoin company, we also touched on several important macroeconomic topics in this episode, including:
- The position of bitcoin in today's rollercoaster economy
- How over-reaching governments help bitcoin
- The importance of self-custody wallets
- Handling banks and regulations with a bitcoin company
- The emergence of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) around the world, and how that impacts bitcoin
- Best place in the world to be for bitcoin investors and entrepreneurs
This was a very insightful chat that encompasses a wide-range of important topics. I encourage anyone to listen to this episode, whether you're into bitcoin or not. Enjoy!
