Auryn Macmillan, Melbourne United
While on tour, a basketballer found a technology that reflects his values of decentralisation and social responsibility.
Auryn Macmillan is a professional basketball player, vegan and CoinJar user. He sees us and calls five, and we meet him on the bleachers to have a chat about his journey with bitcoin. Over the sounds of basketballs bouncing and sneakers squeaking, he tells us bit bit about his background.
Auryn studied computer science in Australia, then transferred to America on a college basketball scholarship. Although Auryn’s focus is on his basketball career, he chuckles when he admits that he's “a bit of a nerd at heart”. In between daily training and tours with the Melbourne United team, he takes a computer science class at Harvard and catches up on what’s happening in the Bitcoin space.
Auryn now adds CoinJar Swipe to his wallet. As a debit card, it allows users to spend their bitcoin at any store in Australia that accepts EFTPOS or withdraw from any ATM. He uses it for incidentals, as well as a way to show people that bitcoin has real world applications and uses.
Auryn is someone who lives and breathes his passions and beliefs. As a vegan and a professional sportsman, his discipline is deeply rooted in his personal values and ethics. His enthusiasm for Bitcoin is driven by its potential as a fair alternative to government backed currency, it’s defining characteristic as a decentralised system, free from artificial manipulation.
It's global, and it's an evolution. It's more than just money.
“I’ve always been interested in anything that I saw that was decentralised and not controlled but really open for the rest of the world.”
As Individuals we should be looking at a currency that we personally can control and not have massive fees. This currency is not in vein it has been coming for a long time to help the people.
“I think bitcoin is just another example of how a decentralised model can empower people who may not otherwise have access to financial systems.”
Be part of the Future and open your minds to how wonderful we can change it one person at a time :-)
