Richard Heart is a champion of decentralized finance and the founder of some of crypto's most innovative projects.
Richard Heart has always promoted a mindset that emphasizes the value of delaying gratification and choosing to build a positive life through long-term initiatives.
He's a lifelong entrepreneur, and was admitted to MENSA – where membership is only offered to people with an IQ in the top 98% – at a young age.
2003
By age 20, Richard's businesses had reportedly amassed a turnover of $60 million USD a year. As a result, he was able to retire by the age of just 25.But Richard was driven to make a real difference.
He began releasing free self-improvement content designed to help people quit problematic habits like gambling and excessive drinking. Through his work, he is credited with helping many people improve their lives.
This work has since become part of Richard's legacy and has been published as SciVive,

2010
Richard's approach to anything he doesn't understand is simple: get involved and learn everything.When it came to Bitcoin, he spent years as an active participant, learning everything he could and becoming one of crypto's key thought leaders in the process.
Here, he began to identify the issues that have stopped Bitcoin from reaching mass adoption.
These issues include expensive fees, slow transaction times, the chain's environmental impact, and inflation bugs.
2021
Since HEX launched on Ethereum, it was affected by the same issues that cripple the broader Ethereum network as a whole.As part of a mission to save crypto and allow the DeFi landscape to truly flourish, Richard wanted to build his own dedicated platform that wouldn't be impacted by the same issues as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
That's why he set out to create PulseChain; a new hard fork of Ethereum with cheaper and faster transactions – allowing the chain to become a hub for innovative DeFi projects.
2023
PulseChain launched in 2023, to massive public acclaim – and for good reason.According to Richard, getting crypto right is more important for your financial freedom than anything else you could do in your entire life. He believes PulseChain is the tool that gives people the ability to do just that.
PulseChain can't be controlled or censored by anyone – not even Richard himself. That's because, despite being its founder, the community is entirely free to use PulseChain however they best see fit.
PulseChain is immutable, transparent, and the home of true DeFi innovation.
2009
When Bitcoin was first released, Richard had been retired for 6 years. At first, he was skeptical of the new asset, and saw little value in Bitcoin as a payments platform.But as he more appropriately identified Bitcoin as a store of value, similar to a digital form of gold, Richard began mining BTC from his home computer.
At the time, he even helped make one of BItcoin's earliest tops – at just $30 USD per coin.
2018
After mastering the crypto landscape, Richard set out to create HEX: a cryptocurrency that promotes building a positive future and long-term wealth.HEX launched in 2019, and garnered immediate attention from the crypto community.
True to Richard's sentiment around delaying gratification, HEX is a certificate of deposit that works by letting users choose how long to stake their HEX, with longer staking periods resulting in potentially larger rewards.
With HEX enriching many crypto holders, and his free self-help content enriching people's relationships with themselves and those around them, Richard amassed a worldwide community of supporters who credit him with changing their lives.
2022
Richard's press coverage increased to new heights in 2022. He became the principal subject of a documentary called The Highest Of Stakes, which entered its post-production phase.That same year, Richard bought a billion-year-old diamond called “The Enigma” with $4.3 million USD worth of crypto. He then announced that he'd rename the cut black diamond – said to be the largest in the world – the “HEX.com diamond”.
While working to 'save crypto' by developing PulseChain, he also set out to save lives by raising $27 million USD for the SENS foundation.
2024
Richard's vision for a future where everyone has control of their own finances isn't shared by everyone. Right now, Richard is fighting one of crypto's largest battles against centralized control.Shortly after PulseChain launched, the SEC accused Richard of selling unregistered securities and illegally using investor funds.
But at the beginning of 2024, Richard emerged with a world-class team of lawyers to fight for the crypto community as a whole – writing that “the SEC is attacking the very tech that it needs.”
This ongoing battle has made Richard a divisive figure, but the battle – like PulseChain itself – is much bigger than any one person. Once resolved, it could serve as a major win for both the crypto landscape and our own individual freedoms.
The Crypto Savings Platform.
Launched by Richard in 2019, HEX is a digital asset sometimes referred to as a “crypto savings program,” giving users a way to build long-term wealth by delaying short-term gratification. While HEX originally began on Ethereum, it has become significantly more popular on PulseChain.
