There was never a dull moment during this conversation with Kingsley and Erin. Started off, Kingsley shared what it was like growing up with a father who has been incarcerated for most of his life and their frustration with a slow and ineffective justice system. The conversation turns to the couple dynamic as they have turned what started out as a rocky relationship, into one with hopes of having a baby. During the whole time, lifestyles have evolved and their future has been tested. In the midst of this and the launching of their startup Flote, they’re even planning Anarchovegas for the crypto and activist communities in Las Vegas. You don’t want to miss out on this conversation. About the Guests: Kingsley Edwards founded Leet, an online esports bitcoin platform, in 2013 with the vision of integrating cryptocurrencies with popular video games. Shortly after that, he met Erin in 2014 where they hosted the one of the first Las Vegas Bitcoin Meetups. After Leet was acquired by Unikrn, Kingsley acted as a Director for the UnikoinGold token sale that sold over $30M in tokens. They both are focused now on helping spread mass adoption by building out Flote, an uncensorable social media platform that will help onboard users to use crypto in an easy way and still put on meetups to this day.

Hi everyone! I have been talking about P3D, POWH.io, and FOMO3D for about a month or so now to anyone who will listen. I have suffered many eye rolls at what a fool I am to be taken in by this OBVIOUS ponzi… but I persisted. I wasn’t going to let close minded thinking shut me down! I thought it was an exciting project and experiment. Hopefully you guys agree! It was good to hear Kingsley’s perspective, as he is the bringer of P3D to me, as well as one of my first Bitcoin friends. Preston was a great skeptic, and was chosen for his tweet a few weeks ago around when P3D was popping. Petros brought in the dev perspective. Josh was a bit skeptical, but def intrigued. Where did we end up after the convo? I don’t know, but it was a cool exploration! We also had on Sharon from Chicago Blockchain Project. Check out the conference this weekend Aug 24-25! I can’t wait to perform, and I know I have some cool panels with some other neat music/blockchain projects. The vibe in Chicago is awesome, and I love Navy Pier, especially the ferris wheel!
