“The interesting thing about all three men with whom we spoke is that they are all almost compulsive entrepreneurs. Mr. Heitler runs an online marriage counseling business and is considering building a business supplying electricity to bitcoin miners. Mr. Lowy said he is involved in building ‘bitcoin 2.0’ companies and is managing his clutch of domain names. Mr. Kenna runs a ‘hacker house’ in San Francicso, has another business selling ‘paper-wallet’ printers, and is working on another project about which he spoke of only off-the-record. They have one other thing in common: they all owned, for a period of time, the crown jewel of cryptocurrency URLs.”
