From Bachelor to Crypto Bull: The Matt James Story
TV personality Matt James reveals his journey in crypto and his theory of where it could go next.
ABOUT
“All my life, I’ve gotten to where I’ve gotten to by doing things that other people wouldn’t do … putting myself into situations that could make or break me.”
TV personality Matt James is used to putting his head, heart and resources on the line, whether it’s on the romantic reality TV show “The Bachelor” or investing in crypto. A self-described risk-taker, James wasn’t afraid to jump into the deep waters of crypto and start investing in bitcoin. Since his first investment, he’s become an all-out Bitcoiner, as he sports the emblematic laser eyes and the all-important #Bitcoin callout in his bio.
James helps kick off the first installment of “New Money” with Spencer Dinwiddie and Solo Ceesay, CoinDesk’s new series exploring the intersection of blockchain and social media in the modern age. In this episode, James reveals his journey in crypto and speculates on where blockchain technology could go next.
“New Money With Spencer and Solo” is produced by CoinDesk. Our theme music is “Street Knowledge” by KC Carter. Art design is by Calaxy/CoinDesk.
HOSTS
Solo Ceesay is the COO and Co-Founder at Calaxy. Before co-founding Calaxy, Solo held the position of Securitization Investment Banker at Citigroup Global Markets after graduating from the Wharton School of Business. He aspires to bridge the gap between fans and creators that legacy media has created by using the limitless capabilities of distributed ledger technology. Solo is passionate about sports, having spent several years as a member of the football team at UPenn.
