He almost bought BITCOIN under $1… but the Silk Road arrest changed everything. 👀
Erai Beckmann was considering investing $1,500 into Bitcoin back in 2012. But after seeing the risks surrounding the early crypto market, he decided to walk away.
Years later, he returned to Bitcoin and began recognizing opportunities beyond the price of a single asset.
Through his experience in the CBD and cannabis industries, Erai had already seen how regulation could reshape an entire market — and how quickly businesses could lose their position when the rules changed.
That experience shaped his approach to Web3.
Instead of building something that would compete with existing financial systems, he began exploring how blockchain could operate WITHIN regulatory frameworks while allowing users to maintain control of their assets.
Together with his wife, he spent years developing and funding that vision through **Peace Through Trade**.
