My Cryptography professor wanted me to explore this terminology he kept hearing “blockchain”, since I was the only student, at that time (2016) who understood cryptography, computer networks, CAP theorem and bit torrent protocol.

Then quit around 2018 to start my own Hardware+IoT co. in India because here things were bad for Crypto and ecosystem was immature.

Went radio silent since 2018 in crypto space.

Go re-introed into Crypto as web3+NFTs+DeFi by @akhil-bvs in 2020. Rest is history :D

He was like “I keep hearing blockchain is a good use case for Public Key Cryptography. Can you look into it once?”

That’s when I learnt about Bitcoin. And people used to just fork Bitcoin for new uses case until Ethereum came.

I started working on projects anonymously then :)
