” We aim to increase significantly over time as we gain experience and identify exciting opportunities ”
Joining Hands With Blockstream
Seetee’s strategy is treble. Initially they are investing in bitcoin and related cryptocurrency projects, and then they are going to set up their cryptocurrency mining operations, for which Seetee had entered into a collaborative agreement with Block stream for Disruptive Financial Evolution

Rokke also mentioned that BTC has been criticized for its electricity consumption; said Company would set up mining operations that will transfer intermittent electricity without stable demand locally to economic assets that can be used anywhere.
Payment method:
Seetee plans to design modern user interfaces as a wallet, which will allow instant credit via micropayments without requiring personal information.
“I am particularly interested in micropayments and how these may enable us to avoid usernames, passwords, and our personal data being monetized with, and often without, our knowledge or consent,” Rokke said
The Future of bitcoin
As Bitcoin is a decentralized system and nobody rule out the BTC, the chance to boost up or crash is equal. Enlightening this aspect, Roekke said;
“Bitcoin may still go to zero. But it can also become the core of a new monetary architecture. If so, one bitcoin may be worth millions of dollars,”
That’s the reason they are investing in bitcoins.
Bitcoin vs Fiat Currency :
A government issues fiat currency, and it is legal tender that lacks intrinsic value, while cryptocurrency is a digital asset that derives its value from its native blockchain.
“We are used to think that cash is risk-free. But it is not,” he said. “It’s implicitly taxed by inflation at a small rate every year.
Bitcoin vs Gold :
Both Gold and bitcoin are rare resources. Bitcoin is a good investment for short-term profit gain, but it also has a huge risk of losing money. However, Gold is a stable investment that almost has surety to return off its investment in the long term.
As for Gold vs Bitcoin, Rokke said: “Bitcoin is like gold, but better.”
