#11 - Noah Edelman - Psychology, FTX, and Having a Rebellious Nature
Noah Edelman is the founder of WTFcrypto, a crypto education platform for regular-day people. He is also the author of the WTFcrypto newsletter, a twice-a-week email series with updates and insights about everything in the cryptocurrency space. WTFcrypto educates everyday people about cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and everything Defi in a funny, easy-to-understand way. Alongside these projects, Noah is also a junior at Northwestern studying psychology.
In this conversation, Noah and I discussed balancing building an online business and school, the FTX scandal, and why we chose to major in psychology. We also got into what drew us to entrepreneurship, who we look up to, and what’s next after graduation.
