“We Want This Series to Really Get Under the Hood of One of the Most Relevant Industrial Changes Happening Today” – Martin Kistler, CEO of Ignition Creative
CEO of Ignition Creative, Martin Kistler, has expressed his company’s “fascinat[ion with]… the story of cryptocurrency and how it could change the consumer world as we know it. We want this series to really get under the hood of one of the most relevant industrial changes happening today”. President of Blockchain Entertain, Andrew Williamson, has stated that “digital currencies, such as Bitcoin, have been exploding in the past year, with much of the world looking on in wonder. However, the digital currency world itself is in a panic over recent and likely future moves by the United States Congress to halt the exponential growth of bitcoin. We wanted to delve into that conflict in a way that would be unique and riveting”.
Former lobbyist, Jack Abramoff, has expressed his initial surprise in having been approached regarding the series. When Marcus approached me, I didn’t know a bitcoin from a sirloin. But, after learning about this vital new technology, I quickly realized that his mission was essential if our nation is to continue to lead the world in innovation and finance – and so I pledged to do whatever I could to help – short of lobbying Congress myself.”
