He Was Doing Crypto 24 Years Ago with Billion Dollar Companies

From there, I opened up a chain of collision repair shops. A family friend called me up. He had seven auto body shops and asked me if I'd come on as a partner and open up the franchise business for them. We took it to 65 locations in four years. It's now called Gerber Auto Collision in the United States, it's called Boyd Auto Body In Canada, it's about a $2 billion revenue legit. Largest collision repair chain in the world. I left there in 1998 and I was hired as president of a private currency company. We built that company up and sold it two years later for 64 million to a US public company. We were doing what Bitcoin is doing today, but we did it 25 years ago. We had 30,000 companies in the US and Canada buying and selling using a digital currency that we created that was backed by nothing other than their promise to accept it. In our economy, we had Starwood Hotels, Avis, Rent a Car, Budget, Rent a Car, Bose Stereo, Hard Rock Cafe, and the Olympics, all using our digital currency instead of the US dollar. So that was 24 years ago now, which is insane.
