Gavin is fascinated with all things BSV. He realized the potential for micropayments to change the world while living in SouthEast Asia in 2015. He doesn’t believe the world needs digital gold 2.0, but believes it desperately needs peer-to-peer electronic cash capable of micropayments. Aside from Bitcoin, he loves philosophy, technology, world politics, and economics. You can reach him on Twitter @gavinlucas110.
