Crypto moves at a lightening fast pace, and with it comes a slew of acronyms and shorthand lingo that even confuse a longtime vet — let alone a crypto newcomer.

DeFi, CEX, DEX, AMM, TradFi, CeFi, CeDeFi, NFTs, ERC20, PoW, PoS. And that’s not getting into abstract technical terms like nonce, gas limit, SHA-256…

NFTs (non-fungible tokens), the…

Where do you want to go for your next job?

Hopefully, you’re asking yourself that question while in two situations: you have a job offer(s) that you’re deliberating over, or you’re just about to start your job search and you’re reflecting on the right buckets to guide your application process.

And it’s honestly a pretty hard question to ask.

There’s a myriad of factors to consider:

• Team — you want to work with really smart folks
• Manager — you want a good relationship with your boss
• Culture
• Mission
• Compensation — you need to pay the bills
• Location
• Industry

However, based…

I was recently catching up with a friend (you know who you are) who went wide-eyed when I informed them that I was building an app.

“Can you do that?” she asked incredulously.

And to be fair, the last time we had met in-person, I was fresh off of two years at McKinsey where I mainly learned how to speak to clients, make PowerPoint slides, and build Excel models.

Although I switched tools when I became a Product Manager (slides became Notion docs, excel sheets became Asana boards), it’s not like — all of a sudden — I became a…

This past week shall know forever be known as Coinbase Week, the week when the crypto markets absolutely ripped in anticipation from the Coinbase public listing — whether from the mainstream press coverage of the event, the positive sentiment of crypto adoption broadly, or the hope that newly-minted Coinbase millionaires will cash out on their equity and reposition…

A couple of months ago, I started the Future is Crazy, a series of posts documenting my predictions of the future in a general 15–20 year time frame.

I fully believe that the future is going to look a lot stranger than we can possibly imagine.

Think about it — norms that my parents’…

Happy Coinbase…

Yesterday, I wrote the bear case for Coinbase’s public listing on the Nasdaq — citing increased competition, a business that’s dependent on the bull market, and a singular point of failure in their trusted brand.

Today, I’m going to say “thanks, but no thanks” to all of those points, and list the bull case for the company going forward.

As I stated yesterday, Coinbase is a very rare, late stage company that is not only growing at a rapid clip, but also making a lot of money while doing it.

Earliest last week, Coinbase posted its Q1 2021 numbers ahead…

U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is set to publicly debut on the Nasdaq exchange on April 14 under the ticker $COIN — drawing much interest as the first and most well-known company in the crypto space to go public.

Many crypto fans see this as a watershed moment for the industry — a signal from the traditional financial world that it has accepted crypto as a legitimate technology.

Earliest last week, Coinbase posted its Q1 2021 numbers ahead of its public listing:

• Trading Volume of $335 billion
• Total Revenue of approximately $1.8 billion
• Net Income of approximately $730 million to $800…
