Ben Askren
Ben Askren, the former MMA fighter and amateur wrestler, remained undefeated for over a decade before taking part in the UFC. At 37 years old, Askren built a reputation and earned countless millions of dollars through his time spent in the ring.
But as one venture ends, another arises. Askren retired from the ring and wound up discussing cryptocurrencies with Bitcoin Magazine and his social media following.
On said magazine podcast, Ben was quoted as saying, “I use Bitcoin to free myself from the dictatorships around me” and “I lost my bitcoins in a boating accident,” a popular saying among firearm owners when discussing what they would do if the government came for their guns.
Ben firmly believes that Bitcoin and its ilk are the way forward, a currency of the future.
