Rodrigo Cuesta is a Medical Doctor and Surgeon who could not find a good job despite having a great CV. This led him to entrepreneurship and he founded his first company in Telehealth.

Bryan Solstin is an aerospace systems engineer, Bitcoiner since 2017, and ran for US Senate on a zero-tax Bitcoin platform. Bryan brings a unique perspective to the discourse on conservation (savings) within a debt-based monetary system and conservation within a commodity-based monetary system. In his book, “Apex Environmental Solution: Bitcoin”, Brian argues that all conservation efforts within our current monetary system are futile and that we are driven into hyper-consumption, behavior that does not improve our lives.

Keith Laska is a Professor of Bitcoin at Fordham University in New York. He is passionate about Bitcoin but got frustrated by the lack of high-quality, easy-to-understand education. To understand Bitcoin, he spent thousands of hours on YouTube, social media, books, and attending conferences. Keith concluded that Bitcoin is a once-in-a-generation money transformation, and most people won't understand it until it's too late. So he put a team of passionate Bitcoiners together and launched Learn Bitcoin, a Bitcoin Education Network.

Giovanni Santostasi is an Italian Physicist and Chief Scientific Officer at Deepwave Technologies. I discovered his Reddit post “15 years of BTC Power Law” a few months ago, which was a follow-up to a post called “Bitcoin power law, over 10 years, all the way to Genesis Block.”, which he posted 5 years ago. I was instantly triggered because I had read about power laws before, and his username ‘Econophysicist1’ was even more intriguing. In the past months, his model blew up and got more attention on Bitcoin Twitter, so I thought it was time to dive into this super interesting, entertaining, and challenging subject.
