Giyom Lebleu: The Gyft of the Blockchain and Improving Prepaid Cards
Manage episode 232838477 series 1652309
Businesses with the alleged potential to become the next Google are plentiful in Bitcoin-land, but finding actual commercial success is a lot harder. The best example of a commercial success is gift card company Gyft that became known as the first place to give access to a wide range of merchants for bitcoin holders and later achieved the largest exit so far in the crypto space in an acquisition by payments company First Data.
Gyft CTO joined us to talk about how he got involved in FinTech, what makes gift cards so interesting and how recently Gyft has been trying to reinvent gift cards by using the power of the blockchain.
Topics covered in this episode:
- Giyom’s early involvement in FinTech in the early 2000s
- His previous projects Bernal Bucks and Credibles that explored gift cards and alternative currencies
- Why gift cards are a great place for financial innovation
- The mechanics of gift cards today and why their security is broken
- How Gyft Block can improve the security of gift cards using the blockchain
- Why Gyft moved their gift cards off the Bitcoin blockchain onto private blockchains
