Highlights

In the 90s, I fully participated in the telecom and internet hype, both technically from my position in ExperTeach and as a shareholder. And I have collected a lot of experience on the stock exchange, positive and negative. To the feeling of what a real stock market crash feels like.

In my second career I have dedicated myself to the topic Linux and Open Source. At the beginning of 2000, these topics were something special, today it’s Commodity. In the subsidiaries of the MAX21 products have been developed such as the ePost-Business-Box, which is used by Deutsche Post AG for the digitization of mail, or the LinOTP for strong 2-factor authentication, ranked by Gartner among the top 10 products for authentication worldwide, and by the BSI is used in Germany itself and is also recommended.

With the MAX21 I made an initial public offering / IPO in November 2006 and carried out many capital increases with the Who’s Who of the German small and micro cap scene as investors until my exit from the MAX21.

From 2016 it is now in the supposedly last professional section. Topic are the CryptoCoins and thus the digitization of the money. Under the heading Block66, the stated goal is to profitably invest both my own money and the funds of those who follow me according to the approach of social trading or social investing.

Internet / Telecommunications – Linux / OpenSource – Bitcoin / CryptoCoins

Three big waves and developments. With all the experience from the first two waves, I assume that with the third wave, which is building up so slowly, I can write a very special story of success.
