1/ In 2014, I went to the SF Bitcoin Devs user group hosted by @LewisTaariq at the @hackerdojo. There were ~5 of us: me, @newmichwill (@CurveFinance @NuCypher), @tom_ding (@dfinity), @LewisTaariq, and @zmanian (@cosmos) - not a bad group! 2/ Afterward, @newmichwill and I started experimenting on top of #Bitcoin. p2p lending networks, insurance contracts, and other random stuff using Counterparty (#few remember).
