Personal Details

Bio

I started to research Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in 2012 and I organized my first Bitcoin event in early 2013 at my Alma mater at Masaryk University in Czechia. Shortly after that I started to write my bachelor thesis which was dedicated to use of BTC and ETH, and I have been falling down the rabbit hole ever since while dedicating my life to studying, teaching, and building the cryptocurrency space.

In the last decade I have organized and talked on100+ meetups, lectures & conferences, while continuing my research during my Master of Science in Digital Currencies at the University of Nicosia in Cyprus, and lately also my PhD at Sorbonne Law School in Paris. In 2019 I started to teach the first full semester long cryptocurrency university course, which continues to be taught at the Slovak University of Technology.

I cofounded multiple educational NGOs such as Students for Liberty (CZ), Blockchain Slovakia, and Paralelna Polis that provided education in the area of Crypto, Economics, & Technology.

While advising to many startups, enterprises, funds and even government institutions in the area of cryptocurrencies, I have cofounded some companies myself. The last few years I served as CTO and Board Member at Cryptocurrency brokerage company Fumbi.

My many years long research was compressed into my book focused on the history and evolution of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies — Coinstory, which got published in 2022.

Testimonials (3)
  • While acting as the Chief Innovation Officer at the European Business Conference Group & when acting as the Employee Experience Communications Leader at IBM I had the pleasure of collaborating with David as a professional keynote speaker on crypto currency. In all instances David was a great added value to the international conferences which he was presenting at. As a professional in the events and communications industry for over 15yrs I have collaborated with and witness countless presenters over the years. And from that experience I would easily rank David within the top 15% of all the presenters I have worked with globally. Undoubtedly I would recomment David!

  • I had a chance to attend David´s workshop on cryptocurrencies. Before the course, I had told myself: oh, another crypto workshop with someone who tells me to buy more bitcoin. However, David´s workshop was way more different than others, he explained history of cryptocurrencies, society’s need for blockchain and technology behind it. We asked many questions, on which he always reacted in respectful, yet funny way, patiently explaining the problem. David´s workshop exceeded my expectations and built my crypto knowledge background. Thank you for this experience, David :)

  • David's lecture was part of IT education for women, Mini Tech MBA for Women, which took place in Bratislava. His three-hour talk on Blockchain and cryptocurrencies literally enthralled me. The information was presented so engagingly and passionately. Only an enthusiast who has been dedicated to the subject for over 15 years, like David, can deliver it this way! He guided us through the topic from its history to the present day. The presentation excited me so much that after the workshop ended, I immediately looked up more and more information to expand my knowledge base. I would also like to draw attention to his amazing book – check out "Coin Story." Don't miss any of his lectures! It's worth it!
