A self-made millionaire at twenty-two, raised by loving parents who instilled in him the foundations of world travel, economics, and the teachings of Napoleon Hill, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, and Jim Rohn. He built, for BitClub, the largest Bitcoin mine in the world.

Dossier

Meet Joby

Three lenses on a life most only hear about in whispers. In his own words.

Decentralized Ledgers

Blockchain

Joby is one of the most sought-upon international blockchain advisors for his diversity of knowledge across Digital Currency, Healthcare, Politics, and Green Energy.

The blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, and public digital ledger used to record transactions across many computers, so that any involved record cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks.

Joby is passionate about creating trust, authenticity, and transparency on a global scale, and sees blockchain as the framework that will help unite the world in ways never thought possible.

Politics

Libertarian

Joby comes from a politically active family of Senators and Congressmen, several appointed to Presidential Cabinets. At a young age he found his heart in Libertarianism, rising through every level of the Colorado Republican structure.

He was mentored by and sought guidance from the famous and well-respected Dr. Ron Paul. Today he focuses on micronations, sea-steading, freedom, and sovereignty, using his knowledge and international connections in blockchain to introduce entire countries to the technology and the power it has to unite the world.

Cryptocurrency

Joby has been at the forefront of the blockchain and bitcoin revolution since its inception, and runs arguably one of the largest bitcoin mines in the world.

A highly sought-upon global cryptocurrency adviser and investor, he believes digital currency will revolutionize the way the world transacts value by rapidly improving peer-to-peer exchange, creating borderless transactions, and empowering people in 2nd- and 3rd-world countries to participate in global trade.

His passion: financial freedom on a global scale. Digital currency as a way for individuals to enhance their lives.
