" summary

Early activity centers on cross‑exchange trading using arbitrage robots on btc-e, setting up corporations and bank accounts in new markets to capture price inefficiencies, once exploiting a 10% price gap vs Mt Gox and LocalBitcoins. Several small exchanges collapse and funds are lost, so the business pivots to retail cash points, buying a first machine from BitAccess/Abdul in Miami and scaling an ATM network now operating in 18 countries with partners and joint ventures.
