Meet Mike Merrill, the First Publicy Traded (!) Person in the World

You might have bought Bitcoin, stocks or ETFs – but have you ever invested in a real person? Mike Merrill, who recently spoke at TEDx Vienna, claims that he is the first publicy traded person in the world. That really means that you can buy a share of Mike today for 5 to 6 dollars, and then you have the right to vote on what Mike will do next – become a vegetarian for example.

In this podcast episode, Mike is talking with Jakob from Trending Topics about:

• if he had to ask his shareholders to do this podcast interview
• why he became the first publicy traded person in the world
• if this is just an art project or more
• the best decision his shareholders have taken for him
• the worst decision his shareholders have taken for him
• what happens with the money that people invest
• if shareholders are allowed to make suggestions
• if he would recommend it other people to do this
• if he would bring himself onto the blockchain
