Haseeb Qureshi

And so I'm like, well, I bet I could also learn.

I could learn just as much as anyone else can.

And that's what ended up convincing me to choose crypto over AI.

And at that time, I knew almost nothing about crypto.

I knew Bitcoin.

I knew Ethereum.

I learned about the DAO hack.

And that was all I knew.

I just knew that it was crazy and that it was super interesting.

And so that's what ended up leading me going into crypto.

So again, I think from the perspective of people at the time, it looked like, wow, Haseeb, you're so impulsive.

You left this great tech job to go to this crazy, bubbly, stupid little industry with nothing going on.

Why are you doing that?

Once again, you're just super flighty.

And when I look back on that, I'm like, no, no, no, no.

The property that I had that very few people I knew at the time had

was that when I'm convicted in something, I go all in and I say, great, I'm going to chase this as hard as I can.

And if I'm wrong, then I'll change my mind and I'll go do something else.

And I was just convinced that I was right.

So even when I came into crypto in 2017, that was the height of the market and the craziness of the ICO boom.
