Lawyer and cryptocurrency millionaire Jeffrey Berns wants to leave his mark on something more tangible than cryptocurrency-based deals. He wants to develop a brand-spanking-new city in the Nevada desert not far from metro Reno-Sparks.
Berns' company, Blockchains LLC, paid $170M in cash earlier this year for 67,000 largely undeveloped acres in Storey County, a site larger than Reno.
