Student Competitors: 

Jioke Kamanu: Computer Science Major “I didn’t know much about crypto prior to starting, I had some exposure to blockchain from classes but that’s about it. Looking forward, I hope to make meaningful contributions at a promising startup or big tech company while developing significantly as a professional”.

Ismael Busso, Biotechnology Major “I knew the basics about the cryptocurrencies such as it being an asset and a means of investment. I knew that it is a decentralized structure that allows them to exist outside the control of the government and central authority. I also knew about the basics of blockchains. I hope to learn a lot from this competition and I hope to use this to get out of my comfort zone. I will use the competition to analyze risk tolerance.”

Christina Coleman Business Administration Major “During this program, I learned a lot – from dollar backed stablecoins to crypto pairings to crypto’s origin story. The reason I am so excited about crypto is because it was originally created for a greater good, it was built out of the mistrust of banks. I believe that investing in crypto is key to the next generation of entrepreneurs and has the opportunity to make life better for my family and my community.

Xavier Vaughn, Computer Science Major “The competition was great– and so was being able to be a part of a community. I particularly liked talking to people from different skill levels, seeing their different strategies and being able to learn from each other. I’m a big proponent about spreading knowledge about crypto; I’ll definitely be investing in the future.
