“In the recently concluded Bitcoin Konferenz in Cologne, Jochen Siegert, CEO of Bigpoint, spoke about ‘Bitcoin transactions from the perspective of an online retailer.’ In his presentation he pointed out the protectionist posturing by some governments is an obstacle on the path of Bitcoin’s success to become even more popular. Siegert is the former director of EMEA strategy and business development at PayPal Europe. He was recently hired as head of payment at online games giant Bigpoint. With over 12 years of experience in the payment industry, he built up PayPal’s European financial products department and led the firm’s European card and credit strategy.”
