Known as Bankteller (BT for short).</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve been in Fintech for a very long time. I&rsquo;ve been a computer scientist for a very long time. Coding since I was 10. I was also Chess champion. Studied at MIT. Worked as a Fintech consultant. Then I went on to work for State Street and Fidelity.</p> <p>In 2011, during my time at State Street, I discovered Bitcoin and attended the first International Bitcoin conference that summer, where I met Roger Veer and Eric Voorhees.</p> <p>Started mining Bitcoin when it was less than a dollar. Built my own GPUs. Probably the one of the biggest lessons learned in my life because I only mined 135 Bitcoin with miners that I paid three thousand dollars for. I could have bought a lot more Bitcoin for the same amount of money and just sat on it.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@ashbey/banktellers-elephant-money-ama-3007b6c37a16"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
