Introduction
Anthony Di Iorio is the co-founder of Ethereum and an early investor in Bitcoin – a claim to fame that not many people have. Since then, Anthony has launched the blockchain company Decentral, and the Jaxx wallet. He also served as the first chief digital officer of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Despite the major financial success this has brought him, Anthony made headlines this past year when he announced he was “quitting crypto” due to security concerns of high-level investing and a desire to focus his energy on philanthropy.
Today, Anthony is discussing everything from his initial interest in bitcoin to his passion for solving major issues in the world today.
