Bitcoin Explained: Expert Insights - Episode #375 with Gary Cardone
Gary Cardone is a towering figure in business, known for his innovative prowess in bridging the gap between traditional business models and modern technology. His journey commenced in 1986 at Natural Gas Clearinghouse (later Dynegy), where he played a pivotal role in transforming the energy markets in North America. By leveraging his insights from the U.S. deregulation process, Cardone became the youngest CEO/President of a public company in the UK, restructuring its power and natural gas sectors while working closely with the government energy minister. Sensing a market shift, he astutely sold off his entire 17-year accumulation of stocks in Dynegy, fortuitously dodging a subsequent market flatline that would last a decade. His entrepreneurial flair shone through in co-founding Chargebacks911 to tackle payment industry issues, from which he later exited, pivoting towards Blockchain and Digital assets. Notably, his involvement with Node40 simplified cryptocurrency compliance, further establishing him as a disruptor across energy, e-commerce, and crypto while deploying what he considers an aggressive and non-standard allocator to BTC. Gary Cardone’s remarkable career underscores his steadfast commitment to innovation, positioning him as a leading luminary in the global business landscape and as an educator contributing to the world's transition into a fully digitized era, which he dubs as Digital Earth.
