When Asher Tan became interested in bitcoin, the best way to be involved was to start a company based on bitcoin. So he did. He began Coinjar in 2013. Now 5 years later, bitcoin is on every tongue in the cultural and economic landscape.

Lately, with prices shooting through the roof and then falling again, everyone wants a prognosis on boom or bust. Asher believes it is still the early days, and that bitcoin’s real value hasn’t been tapped into yet.

Asher Tan Co-Founder/CEO - @ashertn Asher has a background in economics, formerly providing analysis to leading business magazines on company financial performance and the wider economy.

He leads CoinJar - a successful AngelCube alumnus and Australia’s favourite bitcoin company.
