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.

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 :)

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
