Patrick Dunn Director of Trial Funds Society / Trial Token

Thank you so much for doing this with us! What is your “backstory”

We’ll I grew up in Vancouver B.C. Canada and came out of school and became a pilot throughout the west coast of Canada before getting into finance. Then I started a factoring company lending bridge financing to companies in need. I’ve been involved in cryptocurrencies and blockchain for over a year and have a passion for aviation and military history.

Can you tell me about the most interesting projects you are working on now?

Absolutely. We developed and built a crowdfunding platform to help people get the funding they need for legal cases where they otherwise wouldn’t be able too. Our inspiration was that We noticed a lot of people couldn’t get the funding they really needed when they were wronged and we wanted to create a platform that anyone could use to seek the justice they deserve.

What are the 5 things that most excite you about crypto? Why?

-People to have the ability to safely trade and do business over the internet without the need of a trusted third-party to verify or uphold the terms of the agreement.

-Crypto currencies that can be used throughout the world.

-The ability for anyone in any country no matter what part of the world to have a form of currency even if they can’t / don’t have a bank account

-Complete transparency in charitable funds. Simply because the transactions are completely documented for everyone to see.

-It allows everybody to have the ability to participate in different ideas and companies revolutionizing the fund raising industry.

What are the 5 things worry you about crypto? Why?

-Crypto currency volatility is a concern currently. The reason is because corporations that may want to include crypto as an accepted form of payment may be negatively effected by the downswings of some crypto currencies.

-Crypto currencies that don’t have a legitimate business behind them trying to make a quick buck are a concern potentially having a negative outlook to the industry.

-Market manipulation effecting good cryptocurrencies with a good business behind them negatively.

-Mainstream media having a negative outlook on crypto and blockchain technology when having no idea what they are talking about. People need to educate themselves on the subject before commenting.

-Government entities trying to restrict crypto currencies in certain countries.

What 3 things would you advise to someone who wanted to emulate your career? Can you share an example for each idea?

-Educate yourself everyday learning as much as you can on crypto and blockchain technology. When I started learning about crypto I watch youtube videos by Andreas Antonopoulos. Andreas explains all aspects of crypto and blockchain in a simple systematic manner. To give you an idea how respected he is, he was asked to speak on the matter in from of the Senate of Canada about Bitcoin.

-Create a business that will impact the world in a positive manner.

-Educate yourself on crypto currencies that your looking at purchasing. Don’t just blindly buy coins in hopes you can ride the wave.

Some of the biggest names in Business, VC funding, Sports, and Entertainment read this column. Is there a person in the world, or in the US whom you would love to have a private breakfast or lunch with, and why? He or she might just see this.

Without a doubt Andreas Antonopoulos. I would love to pick his brain on what he feels the future of crypto and blockchain will have on the world.

If I had a time machine I would want to meet and talk to Howard Hughes.
