The Crypto Blood Story: Show Notes
“Cryptocurrencies run through my blood,” that’s the motto of my guest, Crypto Blood, who discovered Bitcoin in late 2012. Though he has a technical background in Computer Science with a concentration in Software Engineering, his real passion and day time job for the past 10 years has been marketing, branding, and web development. He is also a former Foreign Exchange/Futures trader and co-founded a CTA (Commodity Trading Advisor) company in 2006. During our interview we discuss how he grew his Youtube channel (CB TV [Crypto Blood]) to 11,700 subscribers, his many ventures beyond the cryptocurrency industry, and the fate of Detroit. We also get a chance to talk about Black content creators in the media and how he’s changing the narrative.
