Reči o živote, vesmíre a vôbecMartin Matejka – Firefish, Bitcoin ako zábezpeka, energetika, trading
S Martinom som sa rozprával o energetických trhoch, bitcoine a bitcoinových pôžičkách. Založil platformu Firefish, ktorá umožňuje ľuďom požičať si eurá alebo české koruny, ak majú Bitcoin ako zábezpeku na pôžičku.

Bavíme sa však aj o trhoch a čo nám prinášajú – ako obchodovanie na energetických trhoch umožňuje, že máme elektrinu v zásuvke prakticky bez prerušenia. Bavíme sa o tom, v č...
