Bitcoin, crypto, and blockchain empower new business models and increase global coordination. In my writing, I explore how digital assets enable new use cases and their second-order effects on economics, finance, and politics. I am on the Strategic Partnerships team at Kraken Digital Asset Exchange and I was formerly a VP of Digital Asset Strategy at Fundstrat Global Advisors. I also served as Founder and CEO of NovaBlock Capital, a leading technology investment and research firm focused on the adoption of digital assets. I attended the University of Pennsylvania and have a bachelor’s degree in economics in conjunction with the Wharton School.
