how did you end up working in crypto?

wanted to buy weed on the dark web in 2014.
found out about bitcoin, learned about mining.
built a rig, found a block, realized decentralized public ledgers were the future of not only finance but all of society.

quit my career in medicine that year to dive in full time.

I was a surgical pathology technician, didn't quite make it to pathologist before I left.

It's a very cool career, one I'd highly recommend to people interested in the more lab-based "doctor" roles like diagnosing disease without any of the patient interaction.
