Meet the chief executive of an ASX-listed company who receives 5% of his salary in bitcoin
But later in my career while I was at Bendigo Bank, I began to see that the technology that underpins Bitcoin has the potential to dramatically change finance and financial equity. So I started modeling to see how cost-effective it would be to use this technology, then I ended up at NAB and started looking at it on a larger scale. At NAB, I worked on several projects including Project Moon on syndicated lending, and what turned into Project Atom, which is a central bank digital currency project with the RBA. But these kinds of projects take years and are never seen, so I pretty much work undercover. Then suddenly, there was this beautiful little company that actually allowed me to develop this model in depth. I really feel like this is an opportunity to bring everything I’ve been working on into one space. Are you investing in bitcoin yourself? Yes, we all have our own wallets, and we have watched them go down every weekend. I would like to say that I have not transacted personally
