Brock Pierce is the original crypto cowboy. And this former child star and one-time Disney Mighty Duck’s sometimes shady journey through the crypto eco-sphere is practically the human embodiment of cryptocurrency’s sometimes shady journey through the zeitgeist. This influential and eccentric crypto-made billionaire, lives in the tax-free haven of Puerto Rico, a place he is controversially trying to turn into a crypto utopia. What is Brock’s next act? Spreading the gospel of crypto around the world - including playing a role in the largest global crypto experiment, the adoption of Bitcoin as an accepted national currency in El Salvador. How far can crypto, and Brock go?
This episode of Cowboy Kings of Crypto was made in 2022.

Brock Pierce was associated with Marc Collins Rector. He conducted parties in Hollywood where children were being SA'd by grown adult men. Marc Collins Rector is one the reasons why Brock Pierce is rich.

This was made in '22. Everyone was having a blast talking about crypto in '22. It "crashed" "died" and was the laughing stock of no-coiners. Late night hosts made fun of it almost nightly. Now? crickets. hmmm? Nearly the entire left was or is against bitcoin thanks to misinformation and a concerted effort to stop non-central bank controlled money. They tricked so many, be mad at them, not random people who had a segment of a show made about him.

Brock Pierce comes off as a bit creepy, something isn't right. I think his primary reason to move to PR is based on the tax benefits. With that said, he was telling people there to buy bitcoin and ethereum back in 2017 and if they followed that advice they'd be very happy today with their investments.

@np494609 Месяц назад

Yeah the hype train is over, at this point it’s all speculative buzz for the etf market on Wall Street. It’s only real utility is a long term store of value and hedge against currency inflation, but that assumes there’s liquidity and that you secure the bitcoin. You’re on your own if you lose the keys, get hacked or send them to the wrong wallet or some other user error. It’s great for software engineers and technical users but will never be mainstream. Payment networks like PayPal and Venmo got hip, realized they needed to offer lower fees. Their security is much better and if something goes wrong you can at least contact their service division.

@lordsneed9418 28 дней назад

very warped, biased perspective. The vast majority of people living in poor, tropical countries like peurto rico realise that it is important and a good thing for their country to have rich people visit and spend money there. For most of these countries, tourism is at least 20% of their GDP, often as high as 80% . So for every one person getting mad about rich cryoto people visiting peurto rico to spend money, there'll be at least 10 who realise it's a good thing, even if they don't accomplish anythign except spend money locally.
