#12 Sam Buxton (Co-Founder & CEO at Digital Asset Management)

Blockchain Rock

We are joined by Sam Buxton, MBA, Chartered Banker, MCIBS, and this interview is all about sweet cryptos, entrepreneurship, basketball, and even music! Sam is the Co-founder and CEO of Digital Asset Management Ltd, a fintech company providing over the counter, cold storage, advisory services and, as the name suggests, digital asset management services. As it is custom at Blockchain Rock, we cover Sam's journey, from getting a scholarship to play basketball in Missouri (USA), his experience in banking, and his move to crypto (including buying bitcoin at a beach bar in Tarifa). However, the episode main focus is on entrepreneurship, which is why we enjoy it so much. We dig down on the challenges that come with running a startup and Sam's experiences setting up Briefcase Vinyl, a venture focused around vinyls, and as a co-founder and CEO of DAM. We also talk about the benefits that Gibraltar has to offer such as, for example, banking, accounting firms, legal firms as well as the other savvy business service providers dedicated to the fintech industry. Finally, we also talk about the impact that COVID-19 has on the crypto market, particularly the B2B space, and the benefits of adopting crypto-assets in multiple industries such as online gaming and esports.
