Who got in Crypto when Bitcoin was $10

Who got in Crypto when Bitcoin was $10

We asked crypto influencers, veteran traders, VC fund founders, and more to share their top tips, essential Twitter follows, and the stories behind their best trades ever. In this edition we speak to longtime trader Ray Tong, who is full of practical advice for both new and experienced investors. Ray Tong stumbled across Bitcoin before most people had even heard of it, while working on a college project in 2011. He got his first bitcoin for when they were just $10, which required a trip to Walgreens to send a Western Union payment to a stranger on the other side of the planet. (Thankfully it’s gotten a lot easier.) When Bitcoin’s price quickly shot up to $30, he was hooked. He got deeper into trading during his post-college years working at Facebook, where he was an active member of a popular internal crypto channel. These days he splits his life between his day job – he’s a product manager at the online fashion site Farfetch, where he builds internal tools that have nothing to do with crypto – and managing his cryptocurrency portfolio. He’s full of practical, everyday advice for both new and experienced traders.

Pro Tips of Manager who now Funds DeFi tech

We asked crypto influencers, veteran traders, and VC fund founders to share their top tips, essential research strategies, and more. In this article, we speak to ParaFi Capital managing partner Ben Forman. Ben Forman is the managing partner of San Francisco-based ParaFi Capital, a fund that invests in blockchain technology and decentralized finance (or DeFi) markets. He founded ParaFi in 2018 after a decade of working in traditional finance — focusing on private equity and credit markets — at major firms like KKR and TPG. “Outside of Bitcoin as a non-sovereign store of value, DeFi is the main area of the blockchain space that has real product-market fit, real users, and real traction,” he says. “Non-sovereign, uncensorable financial services is where we're focused.”
