Jeroen Blokland

When did you become interested in Bitcoin?

I guess about a year ago now, when it really started to appear on media sites like twitter etc. I am a late adapter.

What does Bitcoin need to be considered a serious investment by investment fonds?

First and foremost, stability! Second, a little bit of regulation

Do you think that Bitcoin will be someday a part of your portfolio?

It already is! Not from a traditional investment perspective or for the purpose of diversification but to experience bitcoin real time.

What do you think about the future of Bitcoin? What possibilities do you see?

The future of Bitcoins is really open. If they will gain security and solve the deflation problem they can become the first important internet currency. If not they will stay in a niche or even vanish.

Where do you see Bitcoin in five years?

I guess that new start-ups or even established players in the payment market will combine the advantages of Bitcoins and traditional payment methods so that the innovation of Bitcoins will have a long lasting heritage. Maybe Bitcoins can achieve that themselves but I doubt it.

What are the main challenges for Bitcoin?

Close security holes, solve the deflation problem and meet existing regulatory standards.

About Achim:

Achim Himmelreich holds a Dipl.-Kfm. Degree from the University of Cologne and worked as an independent consultant and lecturer before he joined Mücke, Sturm & Company in 2006. The focus of his work lies on E-and M-commerce as well as Social Media.

Are you as excited as we are? In almost six months we will all sit down in the former German Parliament, the Bundestag, and discuss our favorite topic, Crypto-Currencies. We named the event, World Bitcoin Forum 2014, to bring the whole world to Bonn, Germany and by whole world we not only mean people from all continents but also everybody from the world of Crypto-Currencies. Bitcoin is of course a well known name but there is much more to the game than just Bitcoin.

We need the help of everyone of you to make this dream happen. Follow @WorldBTCForum on Twitter, join the discussion on https://www.facebook.com/WorldBTCForum or just buy a ticket for the conference and be part of the World Bitcoin Forum 2014.

    What is the most exciting topic in crypto-currencies right now? Right now, the most exciting thing I see with crypto-currency is the technological expansion which is going to accelerate its social expansion. The mutation from crypto-currency into crypto-finance, crypto-contracts and eventually crypto-law will be smooth at first with incremental and tangental projects, but with projects such as […]

    How did you get into crypto-currencies? I’m originally an economist, but after spending a few years in the tech/startup world, I went back to university to do a masters in cognitive science.
