I will say that rowing in the first Olympics was probably one of the most proud moments in my life. What I enjoy about the sport is that it's definitive. Nobody can take away from the fact that you're an Olympian. It's indisputable. You get there on merit and merit alone.

Bitcoin is both disruptive from a technology perspective, but there's a tremendous power of social good behind it. So you can both build a cool business or have a great investment return, and there's the promise of potentially improving the remittance industry or banking the unbanked.

For better or worse, a lot of people who build things don't want to part ways. They don't have the short exit plan that a lot of the investors have.

A lot of people don't want to deal with the effort needed to secure your bitcoins. That's why we started to build Gemini, which is a U.S.-based exchange with compliance - it's NASDAQ, E-Trade and DTC built into one.

Entrepreneurs and rowers show characteristics of curiosity and wanting to learn.
