Last week, I was on the panel at the Web3 / Blockchain breakfast event organized by Comcast NBCUniversal LIFT Labs and Philly Startup Leaders.

My initial impression of Bitcoin in 2009 was “who cares, this is a nerdy demo” and it wasn’t till I saw a project at a hackathon of … Continue reading “In Defence of NFTs”
Writing my personal yearly review on this blog is always a good way for me to reflect on my wins and challenges of the year.
