I invented the "Initial Coin Offering" in 2012 and did the first ICO in 2013 when I created the Omni (Mastercoin) protocol layer on top of bitcoin. Today the Omni ecosystem is worth over two BILLION dollars, including huge projects like MaidSafe and Tether - we're second only to Ethereum in the value of our asset ecosystem! I've also been credited as the inventor of the stablecoin (algorithmically stabilized): https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6438095274274627584 Note: If you are looking for the inventor of the stablecoin (asset backed), check out my good friend Craig Sellars: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigcsellars/ I've been instrumental to the growth of Coinme as we bring crypto-ATMs to a street corner near you using proceeds from what I like to call "The Perfect Token Sale": UpToken. Check it out at http://www.uptoken.org - We recently signed a deal with Coinstar to sell cryptocurrency through their kiosks - they have over 20,000 kiosks! Coinme is now (by far) the largest crypto ATM company in the world. I'm a wild-eyed crypto nerd by night, but during the day I'm a mild-mannered software lead at Cozi, nurturing a team of developers as we rewrite all Cozi products in React. We have created the warmest and most "cozy" working environment you've ever imagined, and we all work hard to preserve that. I've reached the maximum number of LinkedIn connections, but I'd still like to connect with you if you are interested in Omni or UpToken or blockchain technology. Just make sure to include a note with your invite that you share my passion for blockchain tech, and I'll figure out how to fit you in! Here's a series of videos of me as an expert panelist at the 2013 Bitcoin Conference in San Jose, where I described the ICO concept and begged for someone in the audience to do it so I could send them my bitcoins: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZsHhx9y_oWhKVOAeQkP1_cBINVcJXVNI Here's another video of me describing how I finally did the first ICO: https://slideslive.com/38901998/keynote-how-the-ico-was-invented-and-whats-next (Alternate title: my long history of sounding like a crazy person!) Lastly, if you want to know what I think of YOUR blockchain idea, watch my presentation "Blockchain has only one use case" first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nxh4oDLoa5U "Ex chao, opportunitas."
