The BLOCKv advisors are as forward-facing and pioneering as the technology itself. The 10 advisors include futurists from key tech industries, and veterans of blockchain, venture capital, and media. Two of the newest advisors include Peter Diamandis and Joe Polish. You may recognize Peter Diamandis as the co-founder of the Singularity University (along with Ray Kurzweil) the Founder and Chairman of the X-Prize Foundation, Co-Founder of Human Longevity Inc. and co-author of the bestseller “Abundance: The Future is Better than you think”. His achievements and entrepreneurialism extend to the lucrative space industry. He is Co-Founder and chairman of Space Adventures Ltd (a private company that provides space flights to private citizens) and Zero Gravity (the first ever tourism company to enable normal citizens to experience the magic of weightless flights).
He has called BLOCKv a user interface moment” for the blockchain, something that will finally make this exciting technology accessible to millions of consumers and developers. He describes the advent of BLOCKv as “similar to how Apple’s App Store provided an interface for the iPhone — giving us millions of apps. BLOCKv is an interface moment for the blockchain. It is something that lies on top of the blockchain that is going to make it extremely useable.” At BLOCKv, we believe that “the future is now”. In fact, our values align perfectly with Peter’s personal motto: “The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself!” This means that joining forces with Peter to build and promote BLOCKv makes absolute sense.
In addition to futurist and tech pioneer Peter Diamandis, BLOCKv welcomes Joe Polish to the advisory team. Polish is known for his extraordinary marketing expertise that he has drawn onto build thousands of businesses. Joe is Founder of the Genius Network (watch a minute of Polish’s Genius Network Webinar including Diamandis and BLOCKv CEO Reeve: Diamandis and Reeve on Genius Network).
Joe sees BLOCKv’s gigantic potential to revolutionize marketing. Given the BLOCKv development protocol for easily transferable and redeemable digital objects on top of blockchains, the potential for beneficial B2C interactions is endless. Polish explains “As a marketer, BLOCKv is one of the most exciting and innovative companies that I have come across in years, and big brands are going to want to make creating smart digital objects on BLOCKv as part of the strategic, value-added services they provide for their clients”.
Peter Diamandis goes further to explain his excitement about the BLOCKv project “Every great exponential technology has an ‘interface moment’ when its potential to affect humanity is unleashed. I believe that BLOCKv has created the interface moment for blockchain and, in doing so, will usher in unprecedented consumer usage, business development and revenue-generating potential for the blockchain — similar to how the browser transformed the Internet,” said Diamandis. “As an avid and active member of the bitcoin community, I have been waiting for a company like BLOCKv to come along and unlock the true potential for the blockchain as more than just a ledger technology. I am proud to join the company’s advisory board and guide them through this incredible transformation.”
