Former Disney actor turned Bitcoin investor speaks at Chamber cryptocurrency roundtable
Brock Pierce, a former Disney child actor and current Bitcoin investor, spoke during a digital currency roundtable, held Monday, at the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce. The Siouxland Chamber of Commerce was host to a cryptocurrency Summit Monday that featured a roundtable discussion led by a former Disney child actor turned cryptocurrency entrepreneur.
Best known for his starring role in 1996’s “The First Kid”
and the young version of Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) in 1992’s “The Mighty
Ducks” and 1994’s “D2: The Mighty Ducks,” Brock Pierce began working in venture
capitalism after retiring from acting at age 17. Now 40 years old, Pierce is
considered a national authority in the cryptocurrency and Bitcoin industry.
“People have questions regarding Bitcoin,” Pierce said of
the decentralized digital currency that was first introduced in 2008. “It is
easier to think of it as being digital gold instead of digital currency. It is
secure, highly efficient for transaction and limited in quantity, with only 21
million bitcoin ever to exist in the world.” Click here for more information: Cryptocurrency Trading and Investing
Although he said Bitcoin is the most democratic form of
investing, Pierce admitted it can also be volatile. For instance, he doesn’t
recommend small investors invest more than $100 in Bitcoin at a time. “Like
gold, Bitcoin can be a hedge against financial uncertainties,” Pierce, who is a
member of the Forbes List of the “Richest in Crypto.” Indeed, Pierce said
local, state and national governments are becoming more cryptolite rate.
Despite recent volatility that left bitcoin 40% below its
April all time high of $64,895, Morehead said Pantera Capital’s funds have
attracted institutional investors who are less “momentum “oriented than retail
investors, and see current prices as a buying opportunity.
He also sees increased regulatory scrutiny, such as a global crackdown on cryptocurrency exchange Binance, as a “transition” phase. Pantera, which manages $2.8 billion in blockchain related assets, has invested in several crypto exchanges including Bitstamp, Coinbase, (COIN.O), and regional exchanges such as Mexico based Bitso.
