Reflecting on the First Half of 2018 & Building a Better CoinFi

Here’s an unfiltered look at the first half of 2018 - both at the progress we’ve made, and the setbacks we’ve had, and what you can expect from us going forward.

Reflecting on the First Half of 2018

LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman once noted that building a startup is a lot like jumping off a cliff, then assembling an airplane as you’re hurtling towards the ground. In assembling that airplane we’ve had some setbacks, but we’re still very far from hitting the ground. With the benefit of hindsight, there are a few key things we could have done better in the first half of 2018. We’ve learned from those mistakes and have taken steps to make the second half of 2018 a big one for the CoinFi platform.

Even though this is our first public product release, this isn’t a full-fledged platform launch - it’s just the first dash out of the blocks in a race to build a platform that will be the first destination in every crypto investor’s workflow.

Da Hong Fei of NEO, Jack Lu of WanChain At Token2049. ICOs + CoinFi = Big Data

Another week, another 7 days flown by. Does it feel like time goes by faster as we get closer to April 6?

Interviews With Da Hong Fei of NEO, Jack Lu of WanChain, Max Kordek of Lisk, Loi Luu of Kyber Network

Last week, we sent 5 members of the CoinFi team to Token2049. While we’re frequently amazed at the rapid pace of evolution in the crypto space, it’s always humbling to see this innovation in person.

While the industry is still quite immature compared to traditional finance, the infrastructure for this fledging new asset class is being created at this very moment - and it’s happening incredibly fast. The rate of change in the crypto industry is truly astonishing. It’s hard to predict where this industry will be in a few months time, let alone a few years, but we spoke to several industry leaders who shared their insights.
