Betting the farm on crypto

Farzam Ehsani has lived through the evolution of cryptocurrencies, from it being priced in the hundreds of dollars, to the heady days of ICOs, and the great crypto crash of 2018. Now it’s on the up. Again.

Anyone with a passing interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies will have probably come across Farzam Ehsani. He used to work at RMB as its blockchain lead, and in that role chaired many conferences and panels. He has since resigned, and has now opened a crypto exchange called VALR.

He’s a storyteller, and likes to speak in analogies, specifically involving childhood, possibly because he’s just become a father for the second time. He also has a deep and abiding belief that in cryptocurrencies lie the seeds of a new form of value for humanity, one that will unite, and not divide, us.
