Tony Hawk is a professional skateboarder, philanthropist, and Bitcoin investor. He compares the trajectories of skateboarding, gaming, and Bitcoin, noting the rapid mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin within the last ten years. Tony’s skatepark project, formerly known as the Tony Hawk Foundation, focuses on creating public skateparks in underserved areas and has been accepting cryptocurrency for a couple of years. He believes that Bitcoin can contribute to financial equality, provide access to other countries, and allow for direct assistance to those in need without unnecessary filters or intermediaries.
