Recording from the MIT Bitcoin expo 2020
In early March 2020, Tara and I presented the collaborative State of Adoption report at the Bitcoin MIT Expo. As Covid-19 was starting to spread fast in the West, we opted for zooming in rather than attending in person - a decision we made only a week before the event. As things unfolded, more than half of the presenters and panelists ended up tele-participating.

In Jan 2019, while at The Graph Day 2019 in SF, I caught Tara Tan’s presentation on designing for users in crypto. I immediately thought it was powerful.
A combination of data that lay the problem bare (e.g. 42 or so user steps to use Maker DAO) and allegories that made the subject relatable (e.g. the bicycle being a fringe technology until it became user friendly - read: dominant design) carried an important message through; crypto needs design. But perhaps more important than the message, was the delivery - which proves the message’s point in this case!
Intrigued, a few months later, I got in touch: “hey - loved your presentation at The Graph Day, let’s connect and see if there’s common ground we can work on together”. Fast forward to June 2019 we had a plan to draw up a report on the state of adoption in crypto. We quickly realised that in order to create something impactful, but also true to the facts and thin in bias, we would need help.
Enter the State of Adoption 2019/2020: a collaborative report on the state of things in crypto, pulling data and insights from world class operators (e.g. Bison Trails, River Financial), investors (e.g IDEOVC, Outlier Ventures), data co’s (e.g. Token Analyst, Dune Analytics), native to the cryptoasset ecosystem.
With this piece of work, we aim to align investors and entrepreneurs already active in the space, but also intrigue and inspire those that are curious, with respect to where we are at, where the opportunities lie, and what it will take to bring us to the new paradigm.
Using data to evaluate the health of cryptonetworks
Presentation for a talk I gave at the Data Natives meetup in London.
Can’t recommend them enough. If you’re into data and in and around Europe, it’s worth taking a look at their meet-ups and conferences.
