New York, New York We developed a new site and media concept about the people and ideas of the crypto/blockchain revolution. I managed a staff of six full-time writers plus many contributors, developed a conference format (BREAKERCON), and created a business plan. The startup proved short-lived but this was one of the funnest, more rewarding experiences of my career.
