The Dawn of Blockchain with Anthony Di Iorio, Co-Founder of Ethereum

Anthony Di Iorio first heard about Bitcoin in 2012 and immediately did two things - he bought Bitcoin and decided to become a key contributor to the emerging crypto sector. Not long after, Di Iorio joined forces with Vitalik Buterin and six other co-founders, and a year later Ethereum was born. Today, Anthony spends his time building crypto tools to empower newcomers to be their own bank.

In this episode, Melker and Di Iorio discuss a range of topics including:

• The dawn of the personal computing age
• Buying Bitcoin in 2012
• Developing crypto wallets
• Co-founding Ethereum
• Misaligned incentive structures
• The degradation of society
• Restoring a wallet with private keys
• Working alongside Vitalik Buterin
• The largest risk to crypto
• Excitement around authenticity
• Spending $0 on advertising
• Dealing with investors
