During my master's degree, I considered starting a business and took a course in entrepreneurship.
As part of the course, I attended a week-long boot camp at a famed local incubator. I wanted to do something with Bitcoin only, but I wasn't sure what exactly.
To gain insight and connect with like-minded founders, I asked the boot camp instructor (a prominent coach and investor who now runs an even larger incubator in a different city) if he knew any startups in "crypto," particularly Bitcoin.
I still remember his answer as we stood outside on a cold morning having coffee and cigarettes: "Oh yeah, sure, crypto for sure. Plenty." Bitcoin, not that I know of."
Too bad. Guess I haven't been around the right people.
Since then, I have attended many Bitcoin (not Crypto) events and meetups, connected with and listened to Bitcoin founders. Very much thankful for these opportunities.
I'm looking forward to continuing to do so this year, and beyond.
Perhaps one day soon I'll start my own Bitcoin business.
