Every 10 minutes, the heartbeat of Bitcoin validates transactions around the world since 2009. Csilla believes that Bitcoin is the Renaissance of Sound Money providing us with the opportunity to simply opt out altogether from the bureaucratic system of the modern nation-state, administered by central banks. We entered a new age of reason and code based rules, where cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin & Monero protect our civil liberties against arbitrary rulers. Csilla is the Co-Founder of The OpEI, actively promoting crypto commerce and supporting the local blockchain legislation proposals. She has over a decade of experience within the International Higher Education sector in USA, UK, Canada and South East Asia, building high performing business, marketing and student recruitment teams. When she isn't on a mission to create crypto content & build companies, she likes to build and fly drones, choreograph drone shows & travel with her wonderful daughter.

Matt believes that the transformative power of cryptocurrency and blockchain can be used to build better systems within our world, connect people across borders and create the society that takes humanity into the stars. While that's a pretty tall order, Matt sees the starting point as the Open Economy Initiative - where we're laying the building blocks that enable a better future for everyone.
His background is in construction, aviation, & real estate - nothing very tech related. The reason he is involved in the crypto & BC space is because he has seen the global & social impact these technologies are having and he was unable to ignore it.
Currently, his full time job is running the Denver Crypto Group as an entry portal for curious minds into Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain Technology along with creating and promoting courses at the Open Economy Initiative!
