Socks make a (Wo)Man ! ! !

April 24, 2020

If you are an OG in the XRPCommunity you know that the sock is a well known item that can only come from 1 place ... from the United Kingdom. Of course we are talking about The CrypToeMan ....

I was fortunate enough to meet him last year during the DLTCONUK Meet-up in Birmingham, UK, organized by LoveforCrypto, but it never got to an interview. It has been long enough, so here is the long-awaited interview:

Before you get into the interview:

THERE IS A GIVEAWAY AT THE END OF THE BLOG: READ IT AND READ WHAT YOU CAN WIN

XRPTwin:

Who is the CrypToeMan ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

a little about me... I am 33 years old, I am married and been with my wife for 11 years and we have 2 amazing kids, hobbies of mine include, football, gym, cooking, down hill mountain biking.

XRPTwin:

How did you get involved in Crypto when, how , why ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

I got into Crypto because one of the smartest people I've ever met told me he bought some BTC, so I researched Crypto and bought some XRP to start with

XRPTwin:

Where did the idea come from creating socks ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

The idea for socks came from me watching a news channel and someone was wearing a pair of BTC socks... and I wanted some ripple socks, my search came to zero results, I wanted a pair that badly, looked for sock suppliers to see if they could make me a pair but I got the same answer of 100 pairs minimum, so I gambled and bought 100 pairs, took a few pairs myself and shared them on twitter and people loved them ! ! !

XRPTwin:

Why XRP ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

I bought XRP because it solves a real problem, I love the company ripple and the team behind the whole project, David schwartz to me is one of the greatest minds of our generation and he will be in the history books for years to come

XRPTwin:

you are mostly XRP but ..... ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

I also hold CSC and VET... for me utility is king

XRPTwin:

Favorite commercial thing you did ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

My favorite has to be my first ever socks, the ripple ones

XRPTwin:

Craziest story regarding sending socks (besides my pair going from Pakistan to Dubai) ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

The craziest story about socks was one day I got an email from David Schwartz' wife asking me for 100 pairs of David Schwartz socks to give away to his guests at his party ....

*(*XRPTwin: pretty PRETTY DARN SWEET , I would like to write)

XRPTwin:

So what about your website ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

Well, you can visit my site: cryptoeman.com

On there you will be able to find all the Crypto socks among a lot of other stuff. Socks are 50% off, so get them now, before it the market takes off ! ! !

XRPTwin:

So Brad wearing the socks, what did that do to you?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

When Brad wore the socks on the AMA (ask me anything), my twitter went crazy and it was the best moment of doing this whole adventure ...

XRPTwin:

coolest reply you got ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

The coolest reply I got was a DM from Brad Garlinghouse but I'm afraid he asked me not to share this info; so I will honor that message ...

XRPTwin:

Something you would like to say about the socks ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

If you own a pair of them then look after them as they will be one very special piece of history in the future ...

XRPTwin:

Bank of America is a hot topic, what do you think about that ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

The Bank of America topic at the moment is very exciting, we have some amazingly talented people in the community that can find pdf's so easily, we know ripple is a partner with them but what will they do? That's the exciting part

No smoke without fire

XRPTwin:

The coolest thing that happened this year ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

I think the coolest thing for me was arranging my sons friends to do a drive by happy birthday... this was so good for me as it blew my son away

XRPTwin:

What do you expect from 2020 ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

The way the things are now it is looking like the whole world is going to suffer with closing down businesses and people are going to feel the knock on effect... I've already been sending some XRP to people from twitter (won't name them) as they are struggling to buy food

XRPTwin:

What can we expect from the CrypToeMan in 2020 ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

The Crypto mans sales have died down a lot this year and I'm not surprised, I am hopefully going to meet people at this years swell community meet up which will be fun

XRPTwin:

2020 is a success if ...... ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

A massive announcement is made of XRP being used

XRPTwin:

Does Corona help Crypto or slowdown ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

I think this can go either way... on one hand you have people staying at home so they could be buying more as the dollar is dying but on the other hand people are scared of losing jobs and incomes so will think its to risky

XRPTwin:

Anything to add..... ?!?

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℂ𝕣𝕪𝕡𝕋𝕠𝕖 𝕄𝕒𝕟 🧦:

I would like to add that I have met a lot of amazing people since joining the XRPCommunity and I'm sure we will all be sitting having a drink laughing at a lot of the stuff we have seen and celebrating that we were right ! ! !
