Nicholas, a software developer with experience in the financial industry, became intrigued by Bitcoin due to its unique distributed computer network architecture.

The fact that in Bitcoin you had everyone kind of doing this proof of work game, which is what it is. And whoever wins does the [database] write. That mess[ed] with my head.
