Building the Bitcoin Dollar System with Zappo

Zappo played a crucial role in creating the Bitcoin dollar system by focusing on extreme security measures to safeguard the keys holding trillions of dollars in Bitcoin. They implemented innovative security practices such as space storage, fingerprint scanners detecting life signs to prevent unauthorized access. Zappo's journey began with selling Bitcoin to investors like Peter Thiel, resulting in the need for secure key management.
