  • "I transferred to the University of Michigan in the winter of 2014 and happened to move in with a young Bitcoin enthusiast, who encouraged me to learn about this nascent technology and join the “UM Bitcoin Club.” At the first Bitcoin Club meet-up, a reporter came and asked questions, and mentioned that there were Bitcoin clubs at MIT and Stanford. I got on a call with the heads of all the clubs, and at the end of the call, I suggested we create a nonprofit organization to coordinate our activities. Only one month later, what is now the Blockchain Education Network, we were incorporated. By the end of the semester, we had over 100 chapters, in twenty-plus countries, on every habitable continent. Through the nonprofit, I would meet a brilliant 18-year-old computer scientist, named Joey Krug, and we would go on to help found Augur, one of the first decentralized applications built on top of the Ethereum blockchain.
