BlockchainTraders was founded by Michiel van der Steeg and Justin Kool. Justin bought his first Bitcoin in 2014. In 2017, Justin and Michiel gained a lot of cryptocurrency experience. They outperformed the market by over 30% that year and established BlockchainTraders using their cryptocurrency proceeds.
Today, the founders of BlockchainTraders are highly regarded cryptocurrency specialists and regularly speak at national and international blockchain events.
The team behind BlockchainTraders expects blockchain to have a greater impact on today's society than the internet has had to date.
