[Ari Zoldan]

This week I was quoted in MarketWatch, the Wall Street Journal (German
Edition), Fox Business and made an appearance on Saudi TV.

Paying your Bar Tab with Bitcoins?

With international currencies in such a volatile state, digital currencies
have emerged as a new way to safeguard money and shop online. Still in the
early stages of adoption, most consumers have not yet heard of Bitcoins.
Yet investor speculation has caused the value of these currencies to
skyrocket in recent months, leading many to wonder if this is a bubble
waiting to burst.

“It’s a very, very high level experiment,” says Ari Zoldan, CEO of
technology and media company Quantum Networks in New York. For people
purchasing goods and services online, however, he says it could potentially
change the entire currency landscape and “be to regular currency what
Skype was to the telephone industry.” Instead of trusting large
institutions or central banks or governments to safe keep your money,
Zoldan says, “it shifts that responsibility to individuals.”

I was also quoted today in Fox Business on social media ettiquite and the
real-world consequences of our behavior online.

Acting Rude Online May Cost You Friends

For the party being “un-friended,” the move may come as a shock, says
Ari Zoldan, CEO of consulting firm Quantum Media Holdings.
“It’s virtually slapping someone in the face,” Zoldan says. “But
of course, anything you do online has a 100% repercussion rate as to what
happens in the physical world, face-to-face. If you unfriend or
unsubscribe, it’s a personal blow to them.”
