The billion-dollar idea that started over BBQ ribs in Wyoming… Most people think venture capital happens in fancy boardrooms with PowerPoint decks and term sheets. Sometimes it happens at a Bitcoin meetup out west. That's where I met @MiguelMorel, the founder of Arkham Intelligence ( @arkham ) . Immediately, Miguel's extraordinary intelligence and energy caught my attention. He had an incredible vision for @Bitcoin becoming the center of banking and commerce. But here's the thing about crypto... The anonymity that everyone thinks is a feature is actually the biggest problem. Yik Yak got shut down because anonymous people behaved terribly. Crypto had the same issue until people realized the blockchain keeps perfect records. Miguel saw this and built Arkham to identify crypto wallet holders, not to invade privacy, but to encourage good behavior. The results speak for themselves: → Tracked a 1.4 billion hack back to North Korea → Solved the Microsoft Exchange hack affecting 250,000 servers The logical takeaway here? Eat more ribs. — More stories from "Draper's Top 40 Hits" coming soon. Which founder story should I share next? --- More stories from "Draper's Top 40 Hits" coming soon.
