In 2011, Remy transitioned into crypto, where he quickly developed a passion for cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. He began his career in blockchain as a miner, building his first mining operation called Liquid Bits.  This operation quickly evolved into a more substantial company called CoinWare, which became one of the first commercial mega mines in 2013.

After exiting real estate, Jean-Marc initiated another project called Liquid Gold. It was here he first learned about Bitcoin, and immediately became passionate about the transformational implications cryptocurrency would have on the world. He quickly transitioned from Liquid Gold to Liquid Bits and began to focus solely on Bitcoin.

In 2013, he founded Bitcoin Embassy, the world’s first entrepreneurial hub for developers, professionals and startups in the Bitcoin industry.  His vision for the Embassy was to foster a cryptocurrency community where people from different backgrounds and experiences could come together and create mutually-beneficial relationships that could help further develop and advance this disruptive technology.

Through these experiences, Jean-Marc sees the potential of blockchain technology and the important implications it has for society on a massive scale.  He has a deep interest in using blockchain to help people and organizations strike the balance between privacy and transparency.

In 1977 he joined a client, Integrated Resources, Inc., a publicly-held financial services company, and spent 13 years in the marketing, structuring and acquiring of over 600 leveraged real estate, equipment leasing, cable TV and other operating company transactions. He also headed and built the largest financial planning broker dealer group in the United States at that time.

In 1990 he was the senior-most officer at Integrated to move with the acquisition by Eli Broad and SunAmerica Inc. of Integrated’s trust company, annuity company, brokerage business and mutual fund company. During his career with SunAmerica he managed as Chairman, CEO and/or President these and other SunAmerica companies.

In 1999 following the acquisition of SunAmerica Inc. by American International Group, Inc., he stepped away from many of his day-to-day responsibilities and worked directly with AIG’s Chairman, Hank Greenberg, traveling extensively in Europe and the Far East to recreate the SunAmerica core businesses in AIG strongholds located in those places.

He decided to step back even further and spent time in the capacity of Senior Consultant to SunAmerica and AIG. He ended his formal relationship with both companies at the end of 2001.

Thereafter, he formed a series of companies to lend to, invest in and manage operating real estate and storage businesses, which to this day have been involved in over 250 transactions.

The last decade he’s focused on what has become a 40 acre real estate assemblage in the Wynwood area of Miami, a 10 acre assemblage encompassing more than 50 buildings in the Flagler Street area in downtown Miami and a 20 acre real estate assemblage in Jersey City, New Jersey, named Mana Contemporary, which today represents one of the largest 100% art related business/real estate assemblages in the world.

He has led and managed development teams, product documentation, dev ops, micro & lambda services, cryptographic schemes, security contract audits, streaming data, applied machine learning and cloud networking.

He brings his extensive experience developing for the cryptocurrency market to his work building cutting-edge technology for RealT.
