Why Get Into Crypto?
(explained with memes)
Last summer I left Alphabet after four year of working on Search, Android, and Project Loon. Now I’m working on CoinTracker — a cryptocurrency portfolio & tax manager (lot’s more exciting features coming soon!).
When I switched from Alphabet to working in the crypto space, a lot of people were excited/curious/confused/worried about me getting involved with “The Bitcoin.” Since delving down the crypto rabbit hole, I have absolutely loved working on CoinTracker, mostly due to having an unbelievably amazing co-founder (Jon Lerner). We’re also backed by Y Combinator and ramen profitable which has been a blast.
Still, I wanted to distill my thoughts on why I love the crypto space and make a case for why others should consider getting involved (I’m looking at you skeptical people!). Here is a presentation I gave at Product School yesterday on the topic — I hope you enjoy it.
P.S. If you are excited about making crypto more accessible and are a full stack engineer or designer, please let us know — we’re hiring!
