Date: Thursday 11th July, 2019 Company: Casa & BlockFi Role: Founder &
Founder/CEO The hype of the previous bull run led to an influx of
companies using Bitcoin or 'blockchain' to inflate value and attract
investment. Many of these were questionable projects, and some were outright

interest. Casa is improving security by simplifying multisig. So why have

Welch and BlockFi Founder Zac Prince, we discuss Bitcoin utility, non-financial
and sometimes unexpected applications and why Bitcoin is more than a financial
system. This episode is also on:
