I bought my first ETH in 2017. A former employee convinced me to invest. I set up a Ledger. Wrote down my seed phrase. Bought my ETH. And then thought… Is the new financial system really going to run on a system where if you lose your seed phrase, you lose your money? Or if someone else gets my seed phrase, they can take my money? I thought not. In that world, crypto would be a revolution, but it would be controlled by custodians. No different from banks today. What crypto needed was an app that made managing crypto simple, without giving up control. What crypto needed was @ready_co
Before Ready I built a brain training app called Peak. At its peak, it had 40 million users. After selling in 2016, I waited for the payment. It was a transfer from one UK bank account to another. Straightforward stuff. OFAC froze the payment. I wasn’t naive. I knew that you had to ask banks for permission to move your money. But why should I ask OFAC, the enforcement agency of the United States Treasury Department, for a legit transfer between two UK bank accounts? Long story short. I eventually got the payment. But I remembered the trauma. Shortly after that, I bought my first ETH, and sent a payment to a friend. It arrived in seconds, and cost $0.01. That inspired me to build @ready_co
