In July 2017, Mr. Brian Erdelyi, a cybersecurity expert, approached Grand Duke Travis about potential blockchain applications for emerging nations. The two men then collaborated on a blockchain system for Westarctica and the initial test project was completed that same month. After the the price of Bitcoin exploded to nearly $20,000 in December 2017, Grand Duke Travis reached out to Mr. Erdelyi to discuss the possibility of creating a cryptocurrency for Westarctica. | |||
