Notable Quotes:
"It was amazing, I just sent a tweet. He responded and that was it. This is the beginning of a great story. Best job application ever."
"With Angel, we try and take a very broad view of impact. We actually started with nonprofits giving them on chain endowments but really recognize that nonprofits are only 1 segment of the broader impact world."
"Don't be scared to follow your dreams. And if it seems scary, it is, but it's also exciting. I felt that when I jumped in this space and yeah, It was just, like, I'm gonna do this and I think that this is the right thing to do."
"The technology itself is life. It's society changing outside. So I'm very excited to be well positioned. In terms of the fears, I mean, there's kind of the existential threats to crypto if nation states keep going really hard on trying to shut it down. That would be a negative. But honestly, overall, I see regulation as a positive thing.""
