This video came out today and gives a soup to nuts brief overview in short form of where Charlie Shrem came from, what he dealt with and endured and gives a glimpse of where he is going.
Charlie was SO young when he was one of the first people to hear about and get involved in Crypto and Bitcoin and the Blockchain space and tech. It is easy to judge or make fun of someone, if you have not been in their shoes, especially someone so young at the time and who was a pioneer in the very FIRST days of something so revolutionary that had never seen the light of day before.
What were YOU doing when you were about 20 years old???
Charlie - Roger Ver - Erik Voorhees were all young, knew each other, worked together and were pioneers of what WE now know -- they broke down doors for us.
Crypto Godfathers, all these guys is what I have called them. And we owe them a debt of thanks.
I remember pieces of this video over the months coming out in projects/interviews he has done, as I follow what Charlie is up to, because we can all learn from him, and I think he appreciates the support and the love, frankly.
I am glad he is continuing on with decentralizing the world and I hope I get to meet him one day!
We are all in this together so we should support one another.
Thanks for reading. Hope this helps. That is why I do most of my posts, to try to inform and help people somehow.
If you feel my posts are undervalued or you want to donate to tip me - I would appreciate it very much.

Sorry if I cannot get to replies right away.
Great video. Really brings it back to the beginning of BTC seeing that like a small piece of history.

@barrydutton Thanks for sharing, great vid and I got to say his arrest seems like total BS (over reach from big brother). I guess unlike some he wasn't too big 2 fail or too big 2 jail

Funny.
The people targeting activists, truthspeakers like myself, and early adopters trying to make life better are the ones jailing us on those disruptive cases trying to help and wake up the masses.
The irony.

Sociopaths in the public sector need to make an example of people trying to help, so it takes the spotlight off them.
Ask me how I know.

Good Stuff Barry, thanks.
I was Skateboarding, Snowboarding and Surfing at age 20, even manage to do ALL 3 in a single day in SoCal.
I met Erik a few years ago, but haven't met the rest of the Crypto Godfathers.

I was already selling real estate for nearly 2 yrs at that point but I also know I was not the typical kid.
In a way I relate a little bit but Charlie is always gonna be one of those guys that was ahead of his time and I recognize that. I have stood up for him online at times, watching people run their mouth as such and that is why I said what I did in here today. Again.
I think it is neat you know some of these guys and are involved and know what you are doing! LOL
I am enjoying your comments and posts about things I am learning.

Yeah, I went to the Plug and Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale, CA since it was not to far away. I was fairly new to the Bitcoin seen myself. We all end up learning FAST in this Industry. I am enjoying your work that you do for steemit too. Saw you on youtube the other day. Glad you were able to catch the ropes in time, hang on Barry. It's gonna get going... ;-)
