The name Jimmy Wales (born August 7, 1966), may not sound familiar to those outside the world of IT, but when it is taken into consideration that his name appears in the Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people of 2006, his credibility and prestige begin to prove evident.<\/p>\n
“Jimbo” (his moniker) became world famous thanks to the success of Wikipedia, which has already become an international reference for the search for information.<\/p>\n
He is currently working on a new project: WikiTribune, which seeks to revolutionize the world of journalism through a platform that promotes impartiality and fights fake and unsubstantiated news.<\/p>\n
During the BlockShow Conference in Berlin, Jimy Wales was interviewed by Cointelegraph about his career prospects. The vision he showed about the world of cryptos and blockchain technologies is quite compelling.<\/p>\n
Concerning cryptocurrencies, Catherine Ross, the interviewer, asked him if he was still holding to his previous statements in which he said he considered cryptocurrencies to be a bubble. Jimmi Wales joined the “Crypto is a Bubble<\/a>” team, but with a reasonably objective vision:<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I say something is a bubble, it doesn\u2019t mean that I think there\u2019s nothing of value there. It means there\u2019s a lot of noise and there\u2019s a lot of investment money flowing in, and a lot of things are being invested into what does not actually make sense. A lot of projects are going to fail, but we additionally have a lot of scams, a lot of theft, a lot of crazy things happening. So, I just ask people to be careful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He mentioned that he was not a crypto investor although he did accept that he had “some crypto here and there.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n
