The worlds of poker and cryptocurrency continue to intersect, with former Full Tilt Poker executive Rafe Furst the latest to make headlines with his project.
While huge poker names like Antanas "Tony G" Guoga and Phil Ivey — with CoinPoker and VirtuePoker, respectively — have sought to marry cryptocurrency and poker directly through backing cryptocurrency-funded online poker rooms, Furst's foray has nothing to do with poker. Instead, Furst has rolled out a venture called The Crypto Company, a sort of cryptocurrency investment firm, according to an interview he did with Entrepreneur.
