I emailed @barmstrong ~20 times in 2013 after seeing Coinbase launch on Hackernews. No response, but I knew I had to work there.

Eventually convinced a bunch of online merchants to use the Coinbase API to accept BTC from my yale.edu address and hustled my way in 

Dropped out of Yale to work on BD at Coinbase in 2013

Always wanted to work there, been in love with the company since mtgox btc-e days. This is soo inspirational reading this. Thanks Nick!

Wow ~20 times, I really do have to step up my hustle game. Preeeeach!

What were you studying at Yale? 

Also, do you think having a college degree benefits a person in the Web3 space?

That’s super impressive. Well done. 👏
