In 2017, bitcoin started to get noticed along with other crypto currencies. However, access to the world of crypto currencies was difficult and limited. Intuitively understanding the vast potential of blockchain technology if only more people had access to it, Justin knew what to do. He set out to build a simple, streamlined app; an on-ramp so that creative minds could engage and take blockchain to the next level. But first, he had to find a bank and a payment processor that wouldn’t hang up after he said the word ‘crypto’. It was a toxic term in the banking world, saddled with a lot of hype and misinformation. Hear from Justin about the big initial hurdles, how he overcame those and iterated on his idea until it became what Sequoir is today: A fully regulated and FinCEN compliant US-based digital asset trading platform for buying, selling and swapping digital assets. Learn from him as he shares lessons learned and the importance of giving value to others freely, even if there may be no immediate return.
