Catching The Bitcoin Bus

[bornil267645]

The growth of Bitcoin industry, and its huge potential to change the economy has started affecting the traditional finance industry. It can’t be more obvious than the brain drain happening from financial sector to the Bitcoin sector. In recent days, many top level executives from well-known financial institutions have switched jobs to join Bitcoin based companies. This brain drain is not just confined to the financial sector, but to other sectors as well, the best example being the Nike’s Global Chief Information Officer quitting the company to join BitReserve.

Blythe Masters

Blythe Masters is the chief executive of Digital Assets Holdings LLC, a Bitcoin trading platform. She was formerly with JP Morgan and Chase Co as an executive. Being with the company for over 27 years, she had risen from her position as an intern to become the global head of commodities powerhouse.

Digital Assets Holdings was founded by Don Wilson and Sunil Hirani to facilitate buying and selling financial assets by switching to Bitcoin. The company has its presence in New York, Chicago and Tel Aviv.


Jacob Dienelt

Jacob Dienelt quit Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management to join Factom as the head treasurer. The ex-Wall Street executive has stated that he found a place in Bitcoin space after being around the community for over two years while attending Bitcoin conferences and involving himself in the community.

Factom uses Blockchain technology for notarized audit and data management. Dienelt’s experience managing Futures Specialists desk at his previous company will prove to be very valuable for Factom’s Bitcoin asset management and software token sales.


Duncan Niederauer

The former CEO of New York Stock Exchange, Duncan Niederauer has moved to Tera Group as an Advisory Director. TeraExchange is a Bitcoin swap exchange operated by Tera Group in the United States. The Tera Bitcoin Price Index also sets a regulated benchmark for USD/XBT contracts in the country.

Duncan was responsible for driving the NYSE during the time of financial crisis in accordance to changing market and regulatory conditions. He was also instrumental in automating the trading process in NYSE to compete with other all-electronic trading exchanges.

Edward Boyle

The former VP/GM of AmEx’s Prepaid Cards division, Edward Boyle quit his previous position to start Blade Payments. Blade Payments offers cross-currency payment facilities for cryptocurrency companies through debit card using existing global payment networks.

Yanis Varoufakis ?

Tembusu also announced that it has snagged University of Athens academic Yanis Varoufakis, who was recently appointed Greece’s finance minister, as an advisor. They’ve been working together since November 2014. All three founders happen to be avid gamers who admired Vraoufakis’ work in designing the economics of Steam – a popular online gaming shop.

It goes to show that it takes time to get from fiat to crypto, it takes courage to wager a step into the unknown, invest and leave behind the trusted paths and ways which were profitable. It takes insight to see the potential of crypto and am glad to see so many bright minds have made the crossover to the Bitcoin. It has potential beyond the quick buck it made in the hype and it has only begun!

More financial elites are joining bitcoin companies. It is good for the development of bitcoin. But as a normal user, what should we do to join the bitcoin train? We should learn the crypto concept, buy a little bit and try to use it!

You couldn't have said it better. These stages should be expected when delving into the unknown world of cryptocurrencies.

are all those "good" news actually doing something? it's been weeks already since we are overwhelmed by good news, but despite this the trend is uncertain and the price is tanking again

something must happen by the end of this year, otherwise one may think their intentions are useless...

The price wont be rising because of this news and also that people are smart this days and a simple positive news like this wont make any effect anymore . The last positive news that made impact is the "coinbase rocket" news that shoot the price to be higher just before the release date.

Looking at those names & their professional backgrounds can only be positive for bitcoin, the more experts joining us in powerful positions the better.
I don't think it will do anything for the price just yet.
People often compare the stage bitcoin is currently at to the internet in 1994/95.
I think it's still going to take us a number of years to get where we want to be, we all have to be patient & wait for a time where we will handsomely prosper.

I don't think we should expect or use such news for rises of price.The more positive news like these just shows trust and importance of Bitcoin which are helping to create more and more awareness about Bitcoin and its uses.Bitcoin is becoming more and more reliable and going towards legitimation.
