Sending money to just anywhere in the world is a simple process but carries a lot of restrictions and limitations. The advent of Bitcoin and its lightning network bypasses those limitations in terms of transferring value with finality in the same acceptable level as being handed a 20-dollar bill where nobody can question that you have that amount of value.

About Christopher Calicott:
Christopher is the career technologist who knows a few things about the internet, Web2, and bitcoin. Having been there from the start (i.e. before Google was a thing), it's no surprise that his core strength lies in tech strategy and market analysis.
A native Texan, Mr. Christopher speaks three (yes, three) languages. After an MBA in Madrid, he moved back to Texas to build TVP with an old buddy. The rest is history. Since then, he's moved the needle on policy by sitting on the Texas Blockchain Council's board of directors, where he championed Texas HB4474 which was signed into law by the Texas governor. Not bad
Before the world knew the power of decentralization, Christopher witnessed digital currencies fail. But then, an old friend introduced him to Bitcoin. He even recalls extravagant celebrations over wine as its price hit $30 and $100 (gulp). While many scoffed at the prospect, he encouraged macroeconomics professors to take note. As he watched Bitcoin succeed past its expected life, he knew he had a unique opportunity. Thus, TVP was born. Acting as a partner, he's now participated in countless venture rounds — from Kraken to Unchained and Voltage.
