Hi Steem, I'm Adrian Scott, Napster founding investor, social networking pioneer, p2p hashing inventor, crypto-head

Hi, fellow Steem people,

adriano-seated-s-crop-s.jpg

Just a quick note to introduce myself. Feel free to drop me a note to say 'hi'.

My "bio highlights" include:

  • Founding investor in Napster
  • Founder of social networking pioneer Ryze, the big influence on Friendster which in turn influenced Facebook
  • Math Ph.D. at age 20 in nonlinear optimization
  • Co-inventor of a P2P Hashing algorithm patent
  • More recently founder of Coderbuddy, a 500 Startups portfolio company
  • Starting up Soma Capital, focused on cryptocurrency & digital token investment and ecosystem development
  • informal advisor to Dash cryptocurrency, and getting involved with some other crypto/token projects
  • film & TV actor in my spare time, including w/ Robert De Niro in "Hands of Stone" :)

I've been on Steem for a bit now, and hope to start publishing more. Thanks to @hilarski and @anahilarski for bugging me to get more active each time I see them :).

I especially look forward to connecting with other folks involved with cryptocurrency/blockchain/DAG and also liberty-oriented projects, and have enjoyed reading many of your posts on those subjects. Also welcome meeting folks who visit Panama :)... I started getting involved in cryptocurrencies in 2013 and was CTO for one startup where I coded a bitcoin meta-exchange.

As well as connecting here, let me invite you to connect with me and my projects through these additional links:
