Eric Yakes is a true believer in the potential of Bitcoin. After graduating from Creighton University with dual degrees in finance and economics, he achieved his CFA charter three years later - then immediately dove into Corporate Finance & Restructuring at FTI Consulting before moving on to Lion Equity Partners' distressed buyout private equity fund. His enthusiasm for cryptocurrency only grew stronger over time, culminating in him authoring "The 7th Property: Bitcoin and the Monetary Revolution." Now an independent writer striving to inform others about bitcoin's remarkable future prospects, Eric clearly stands out as one who knows digital currency better than most!
In this interview on The Bitcoin Source, we discuss will Bitcoin will decouple from crypto, why Bitcoin is often dismissed as a transformational technology, and explaining the concept of the seventh property and why immutability is important.
