Actively involved in the Bitcoin and Blockchain space since 2011, he co-founded one of the first European Bitcoin broker websites and is the founding director of the German Bitcoin Foundation ("Bundesverband Bitcoin").
He is a member of the Crypto Economics Consulting Group and a founding member of the Bitcoinkiez in Berlin as well as the world's longest running Bitcoin meetup, the Bitcoin Stammtisch in Berlin.
Jeff is a consultant for the award-winning FinTech startup Bitwala and regularly runs workshops and advises other companies and non-profits in regard to Bitcoin and Blockchain technology.
Currently, he is running Fulmo, which is dedicated to research and development of the Lightning Network and Blockchain scaling.
