Summary
Location: El Salvador Date: Saturday May 8th Company: Strike, Ed Carpenter Racing Role: CEO, Owner
Ed Carpenter lives life at over 373 km/h. He's worked his whole life for his dream of racing in the Indy 500. And now, with 18 Indy races under his belt, the finish line is within his sights. But Indy racing requires millions per year in funding, and the way people consume entertainment is changing.
Ed's team needed to do something different, and a dose of orange pills gave them an idea. A cold email to Jack Mallers may just have changed the game forever. The two have joined forces and are looking to the Bitcoin community to raise money to enter car number 21 into the Indy500 covered in the Bitcoin logo.
In this interview, I talk to Jack Mallers and IndyCar driver Ed Carpenter. We discuss Ed's racing aspirations, entering a Bitcoin car into the Indy500 and supporting open source development and Bitcoin.
