“Crypto Today” mit Florian Wimmer
On Thursday evening there was an informative and entertaining lecture on the topic of “Krypto Assets” with Florian Wimmer, CEO from Blockpit AG on Thursday evening under the title “Crypto Today” in the Oberwart Chamber of Commerce. The numerous guests showed great interest in the topic, some of the special previous knowledge. Wimmer responded to questions, offered a good overview of the history of Bitcoin, Ethereum & Co. and at the same time also gave tips on what to look for so as not to pay attention to fraud.
“Basically, it should be said that the term” cryptocurrency “is wrong because it is” crypto assets “. The topic is immensely complex and also enables many opportunities, but also risks. The handling of shops is no longer regulated centrally, but everyone in the system controls itself. Everything is anonymous and encryption,” said Wimmer.
Banks are interested
Wimmer removes that the pioneer “Bitcoin” (started in 2009) is still the safest variant for all providers: “To date, the system has never been hacked. An essential aspect is what I want to use Crypto Assets. Take risk. “
“Since the topic of” crypto currency “arises more and more and is very complex, it was important to us to process it accordingly with an expert.”

For example, Raiffeisenbank International (RBI) invested several million euros in Blockpit AG by Florian Wimmer in March 2025. “In the sense, we are not a provider but a software company that is dedicated to this complex field. I also see it positively that this area is finally better regulated,” says Wimmer.
