Cryptocurrency Financial Advisors

Crypto Kings and Queens

Over the past decade, there has been a multitude of pioneers in the crypto space. As new advancements and updates are made each and every day, there is an overload of information to constantly keep up with. As the public looks to further understand the new comings of digital assets, a variety of crypto leaders have emerged as trusted experts in the industry. These people are developers, entrepreneurs, analysts, engineers, investors, and overall emergent leaders that contribute their knowledge, ideas, and expertise to further educate and grow the digital asset community. 

As 2021 has kicked into full swing, several young professionals have embraced the shift from a traditional financial system to one influenced by the power of digital assets. One individual in particular who has been taking the crypto world by storm is Flori Marquez. Since graduating from Cornell, Marquez has gone on to become the co-founder of BlockFi, making her way onto the Forbes 30 under 30 finance list. BlockFi is a very successful and rapidly growing crypto-lending platform that allows clients to open accounts with up to 8.6% APY, with revenues of over $100 million projected for the year ahead. Marquez keeps the public up to date on all things BlockFi, alongside her daily thoughts and opinions via Twitter, where her bio reads, “bridging the worlds of fintech and blockchain”.

While the capabilities of cryptocurrencies are spectacular, they would not be made possible without the engineers behind the protocols that make crypto transactions successful. Amiti Uttarwar is a 28-year-old Nevada native who works as a software engineer and coder of Bitcoin’s protocol in Silicon Valley. She strives to enhance the privacy of wallets in Bitcoin Core by studying the various transactions made on peer-to-peer lending platforms. Her efforts to help to facilitate the process of buying and selling cryptocurrencies will allow for further mass adoption and will aid the everyday utilization of digital assets. 

Another emerging leader who deserves some recognition is Jesse Peltan, he is the co-founder of HODL ranch, a bitcoin mining company located in Texas. Peltan alongside his team works to allocate their resources to lower the cost of bitcoin mining to make bitcoin more profitable overall. His innovative approach to harvesting natural windpower elements and renewable energy sources makes for low costs in Bitcoin mining, as demand for advanced efficiency of networks increases. Mining historically can be difficult with a variety of costs, alongside trials and errors of harvesting energy, distribution, etc, and Peltan works to facilitate that process.

Lastly, a dominant force in the crypto world is Brian Armstrong, CEO, and co-founder of Coinbase. As Co-Founder and CEO, Armstrong has grown Coinbase into the largest crypto exchange in the United States. He has built Coinbase up to be a secure and compliance-oriented platform in which accredited investors trust. In tandem, the trust that Coinbase has fostered among the community has contributed to the recent institutional adoption we have seen. According to Forbes, “Coinbase is the first principal issuer of debit cards that allow customers to spend their cryptocurrency anywhere Visa is accepted and to withdraw cash from any ATM,” thus making cryptocurrencies much more accessible for everyday use cases. Armstrong has a strong presence on Twitter and social communities as well, voicing his updates, opinions, and other crypto-related discussions for the crypto-curious to see.

These are just a few of the many young individuals who have seen firsthand just how far the blockchain and crypto sector has become and ran with it. Though their own day-to-day hustle and bustle may differ, they uphold a shared belief that the future of finance lies within the capabilities of digital assets and cryptocurrencies powered by blockchain technology. At Sarson Funds, we believe in that same shared idea.
