Gummo is a former blackhat hacker and reverse engineer turned whitehat who has been breaking shit since '86. His success has been attributed to a unique gift we discuss as well as his extensive knowledge of defeating secure networks and physical vectors. His deep understanding of crypto allowed him to create four supercomputers that were able to mine more than 5.1 billion U.S. dollar’s worth of bitcoin. He has also created high capacity, ultra-secure systems and networks for trading & hedge funds that are currently used today within high-frequency algorithmic trading platforms. He is Founder and Host of the popular podcast, HACKERS, which is the #1 hacking podcast with over 1.6M subscribers. He has a hell of a story to tell and although typically he doesn't do interviews, he kindly obliged to a conversation at BarCode.
We discuss his intense journey starting from his childhood fascination with computers to his progression into hacking, which includes a path of tragedy to triumph. We also get into the rise of bitcoin, the power of blockchain, the underlying value of NFTs and where the digital universe is going next.
