Episode Sixteen: Michael Robinson & Jennifer Peng

Today in the studio we had Michael Robinson and Jennifer Peng from Homebloc and THEDEx. We loved learning more about the crypto space and the problems they are solving in addition to their personal stories which were extremely inspiring. We can't wait for you to hear it!
Homebloc

The Homebloc exchange is a smart-contract platform that offers global trading 24/7 using blockchain technology to serve and create synergies between two related industries: Residential Real Estate and Lodging, which we define as short and long-term residential property rentals, plus hotel bookings. We aim to do this in three phases. Ultimately, the Homebloc ecosystem distributes rights, responsibility, and profitability more equitably between all stakeholders in the marketplace: consumers/renters, retail investors, hotel owners, and residential property owners.

THEDEx

Founded by a collective of financial professionals and crypto enthusiasts, THEDEx has an established presence and base in New York City with a goal to expand across the globe. Our objective is to raise awareness about blockchain technology, digital assets and cryptocurrencies and their many possibilities for changing the future. We believe in the disruptive nature of technology and recognize that people are currently experiencing the latest revolution which is a financial one. The creator(s) of Bitcoin were the first to acknowledge this and chose to launch the world’s first digital currency within one year of the global financial collapse in 2008.
