A self-made millionaire at 16, Jonathan Manzi didn’t hesitate to go for it when he saw potential. After several wins (and some failures), he now focuses on the power of blockchain to create a much better interconnected world. (Via CointelegraphZN)
One of the projects he dreamed up was an energy drink created with kava, a fruit indigenous to the South Pacific, which he says lowers the stress hormones in athletes, a claim supported by research Manzi participated in at Stanford’s Human Performance Lab.
Despite this, he’d convinced Benic, who soon left Slovenia, to live in Manzi’s apartment while building a new business called, “an automated FedEx office,” together. “In the meantime, I bought a bar in San Francisco and I was the youngest bar owner at 22,” Manzi recalls of the few months before Benic arrived.Manzi knew about and “philosophically celebrated” Bitcoin since 2012, having previously followed the “libertarian”project while he was in high school.
The problem, according to Manzi, is that “TCP/IP protocol — the internet — did a fantastic job connecting nodes and servers but it never anticipated a moment like this,” he says, explaining that everything from satellites in the sky to smart pills that track vitals inside someone‘s body needs to be able to identify themselves.
