I find it difficult to turn down an entrepreneur who's both passionate and knowledgeable about their space.

People wanted Bitcoin to live so much, they basically willed it back into existence. That showed me how passionate this community was about it.

Coinbase is 'the' brand in the Bitcoin space. Their founder Brian Armstrong was amongst the first good entrepreneurs to emerge in this space. While others championed ideological or underground/illicit interests, Brian saw an opportunity to change the world for the better and build a big business out of it.

There are very few fundamental shifts in global infrastructure that can happen in our life times. The financial infrastructure is one of them, and the Blockchain is changing the way we think about the transfer of value.

Unstructured play gives kids the space they need to tinker and take risks - both vital for the budding entrepreneur.

I am a private person. I don't need a lot of company. And I find it really, really difficult to talk about myself.
