I love hearing people’s stories. What's your web3 origin story?

▶️ How were you introduced to it?

▶️ How long before you really ‘got it’?

▶️ When did you decide to work full time in web3?

▶️ What held you back from doing it sooner?

My brother was mining Bitcoin out of my back office in 2013, while I was busy building my first company.

Too busy to listen to him until he passed away in early 2017. 

That's when I saw what he was trying to show me all those years.

By 2020, my company was working primarily in web3.

Now my ears and eyes stay open.

Build stuff.
Collect art.
Make the world a better place.

Miss him everyday for sure and wish I had listened to him more and gone into business together, but we can't change the past. 

Best I can do now is to buidl like a mofo to honor him, and remind folks to be there with/for fam. 

Appreciate you Ben.

Thank you for sharing so vulnerably. I know it can be easy to gloss over the painful parts of one’s story. I also lost a brother too young. 

It still stings, but I'm a better human today for having gone through it. It sounds like you may be in a similar situation.
