Some recent articles you may enjoy:

• Crypto Reading — over the last few years, I’ve had many people ask me for a crypto reading list targeted at a tech-savvy person looking for the answer to “why is crypto interesting?”. Here’s the most current version. Intentionally not too technical.
• Startup Canon—I often get introduced to people looking to make the jump into startups and Silicon Valley. This is the reading list I send them. It’s meant to be a primer for many of the popular concepts and jargon you will hear working at a startup.
• How this website works—a technical guide to my personal website. It’s powered by Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages.

An increasing number of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs are quietly building the infrastructure necessary for a more open, permissionless and decentralized version of the Internet and the global financial system. Coinbase remains a key part of this story by providing the trusted and easy-to-use bridge between traditional finance and cryptocurrency.

I joined Coinbase when it was 20 people; it is now over 700 people. I’ve also had the privilege to work across almost every aspect of the Coinbase business— our banking partnerships, international, and time with both our consumer and institutional businesses. Through this, I’ve come to appreciate the value in working at a mission-driven company that’s willing to focus on a long-term strategy. Staying true to a mission often requires doing hard (or even unpopular) things. But I’ve been lucky to learn first-hand that it’s those hard things that often generate the most value.

I want to thank Brian and Fred for taking a bet on me. I also want to thank all of my Coinbase colleagues for everything they’ve taught me over the years. I hope I’m lucky enough to work with as intellectually honest, pragmatic, and kind group of people again.
