Q1: Dear Tai – you are one of the speakers at the upcoming 5 Years anniversary event of the local Bitcoin Saigon Community. When did you first hear about Bitcoin and why did you get interested into it in the first place?<\/em><\/h3>\n

I first heard about bitcoin in October 2012 when I was working at an energy brokerage firm that sells commercial electricity to businesses in the city of Dallas, in the state of Texas in America.\u00a0 The energy brokerage firm was also mining bitcoins because they knew how to buy very cheap electricity and that was how I got introduced to bitcoin.<\/p>\n

At that time I was trading stocks, forex, etc. and it normally takes about 1-3 weeks after I made a profit in trading before I could use the money.\u00a0 First, I got interested in bitcoin because it had the fastest clearing & settlement technology I had ever seen which is normally around 10 minutes in 2012. In the financial industry which normally takes around 3 days. Second, since I was already trading forex, I wanted to start trading bitcoin early so I can gain more experience and have an early mover advantage over the other traders.<\/p>\n

Q2: Looking back over the past 5 years – what surprised you most positively, what most negatively in the past half decade of Bitcoin history?<\/em><\/h3>\n

What surprised me the most from a negative perspective is that I never expected bitcoin to STOP being a peer to peer electronic cash.\u00a0 Myself and nearly every early bitcoiner I met would pay for our snacks, meals, coffee, etc. with bitcoin on our smartphones at many of the early bitcoin conferences and meetups. It really surprised me how a small portion of newcomers to the bitcoin community was able to create division in the bitcoin community and turn bitcoin into some weird \u201cstore of value\u201d and no longer want bitcoin to be used as a peer to peer electronic cash.<\/p>\n

My friends and I missed the Dot Com boom in the 1990\u2019s so from a positive perspective, I am excited to see that the crypto industry has provided many opportunities for our team and many early traders, investors, adopters, entrepreneurs, etc to quickly become millionaires as more people, Wall Street, and the financial industry slowly began accepting and adopting cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

Q3: What can listeners expect to learn from your talk at the 5 Year anniversary event?<\/em><\/h3>\n

The crypto market is full of fake and inaccurate investing information because the material is usually\u00a0 created by non-traders and investors looking to sensationalize their content to get more clicks and views to increase their advertising revenues. This type of inaccurate information really hurts new people entering the cryptocurrency market.<\/p>\n

At the event, I want to share our team\u2019s real world experience in cryptocurrency trading and investing since 2012 to help new traders and investors avoid the nasty mistakes we made.\u00a0 There will be NO theory!\u00a0 Everything I share will be from the REAL WORLD of crypto investing including:<\/p>\n
