In the latest episode of Blockworks’ podcast “Empire,” Jason Yanowitz, Blockworks co-founder, sits down with Dan Held, the director of growth marketing at Kraken. We talked about Elon’s impact on the field, energy and the environment, and of course, the possible $500k supercycle.
Dan is currently director of growth marketing at Kraken. His former company Interchange, a portfolio reconciliation tool for crypto institutional traders, was acquired by Kraken in 2019. Prior to that, he was at Uber and also built some of the most popular early crypto products including ChangeTip (acquired by AirBnB), and ZeroBlock (acquired by Blockchain.com in the second ever all Bitcoin acquisition).
He was part of the original 2013 crypto meetup group in SF which was comprised with the founders of Kraken, Coinbase, Litecoin, and others.
On “Empire,” once a week, Jason interviews individuals that have built the crypto industry to talk about their struggles, bold moves and tough decisions. For any NPR or Guy Raz fans out there, you can think of “Empire” like a “How I Built This” for the bitcoin and crypto industry.
Episodes are released every Thursday morning.
