Turning Data into Value w/ Eric Weiss

This week on the Bitcoin Magazine podcast, host Christian Keroles sits down with Eric Weiss, CEO of the Bitcoin Investment Group Fund (BIG Fund). Eric was early to Bitcoin and saw its potential as an alternative store of value over the internet immediately! Eric was the person that helped introduce Michael Saylor of Microstrategy to Bitcoin. Eric and Michael are long time friends and it was finally in the initial fall out of the COVID 19 lockdowns where finally Bitcoin as a money outside of the system started to make more sense to Saylor.

“Covid was kind of something that made a lot of people question.” - Eric Weiss

Topics:

• The Bitcoin Investment Group.
• Bonds to Bitcoin.
• Buying Bitcoin in 2014.

• Michael Saylor’s quick onboarding and conviction.
