C4 Welcomes Rodney MacInnes as New CBP Committee Chair

The CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium (C4) is pleased to announce Rodney MacInnes as the new Chair of the Certified Bitcoin Professional (CBP) Committee. Rodney brings five years of dedicated service to the CBP Committee and a wealth of professional expertise from his role as CRO and AML Compliance Ninja at Outlier Compliance Group. His leadership will usher in an exciting new chapter for the program.

Released in 2014, alongside C4’s inception, the CBP was the first certification of its kind, setting the standard for Bitcoin proficiency worldwide. Over the years, the program has been continually updated to ensure it remains current, relevant and valuable as the Bitcoin landscape evolves. With thousands of Certified Bitcoin Professionals globally, the CBP equips individuals with the knowledge and credibility needed to navigate and contribute responsibly to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Rodney reflected on his new role: "Bitcoin’s relevance has never been greater, and the need for trusted education and proof of knowledge is critical. I’m honored to lead the CBP Committee as we continue to provide professionals and organizations with the tools to engage with Bitcoin responsibly. The CBP is a symbol of trust and competence in the crypto industry."

S. Dirk Anderson, the outgoing CBP Chair, expressed confidence in Rodney’s ability to elevate the program further: "Rodney has been an invaluable member of the CBP Committee for years. His vision and expertise are exactly what the program needs to stay ahead of the curve and continue driving meaningful impact."

C4 and the CBP Committee offer a robust prep course and prep book to help candidates succeed, and the certification itself demonstrates a foundational understanding of Bitcoin’s principles, operations, and security. Additionally, the CBP Committee regularly conducts livestreams for free educational events, making unbiased, accessible education available to the wider community. This is only possible because of the dedicated committee members who bring deep expertise, keep up with the ever-evolving technology, and ensure the content remains relevant and valuable. With members from diverse professional backgrounds, the committee ensures a well-rounded, impartial approach to Bitcoin education.

Hunter Albright, a fellow CBP Committee member, shared his excitement about Rodney’s new role: "Rodney’s experience and commitment to C4 make him the perfect choice for Chair for the CBP committee. Working on this committee has been both rewarding and enjoyable—we’re a team that takes the mission seriously but also knows how to have fun while doing meaningful work."

Jessica Levesque, Executive Director of C4, highlighted the program’s impact: "Bitcoin education is hard to find without bias, and that’s where the CBP stands out. It’s a trusted resource that brings together insights from a variety of experts. Rodney’s leadership will ensure the CBP continues to thrive as the go-to certification for Bitcoin professionals."

The CBP program remains a cornerstone of C4’s mission to advance knowledge and professionalism in cryptocurrency. With Rodney MacInnes at the helm, supported by a passionate and diverse committee, the future of the CBP is brighter than ever.
