Thanks so much Aaron! Having amazing YC partners certainly helps.
The biggest learning for me has been the power of trust. Working with amazing people, partners, investors, etc. who are deeply trusted means that the friction of every task, project, job, launch, deal is much easier. A small decrease in friction at each small step of the way compounds into a faster and faster flywheel of momentum over time.
1. We're hiring and would love to speak with you: www.cointracker.io/about
2. When crypto ends up being properly treated as a currency, it may take off in such a significant way that our portfolio tracking and other related products may drown out our tax business entirely
We founded CoinTracker because we believe that there is too much friction with the existing financial system. It's slow. It's fragmented. It's expensive. Money remains largely the same as it has for decades despite massive changes and new capabilities from the internet.
Today CoinTracker is a portfolio assistant for cryptocurrency. It is used by over 500,000 users tracking over 1% of the entire global cryptocurrency market. CoinTracker enables consumers and businesses to seamlessly track their cryptocurrency portfolio, investment performance, taxes, and more. Our vision is to re-build personal financial management, tax preparation, and accounting for every cryptocurrency user.
Some things we’re proud of:
- Traction: over $20 billion tracked on CoinTracker
- Solid Financials: profitable, growing 15X year over year
- Leading partners: Coinbase, TurboTax, Wolters Kluwer
- Top tier investors: Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, Balaji Srinivasan, Serena Williams, and more

Well, the initial owner buys (or receives as a gift) the painting directly from Picasso. That's an easy one!
It gets more complicated later: experts assess the credibility of the painting by examining the ownership history, if available, the signature on the painting, the quality of the work, chemical properties of the pigments and canvas, etc. They sometimes get it wrong, though (cf. Beltracchi!). It's more a probability that a work is genuine, rather than a 100% certainty.
an original picasso is a historic artifact with the same paint that the artist himself used and his brush marks etc.
a copy isn’t. an nft is just bytes. a copy is exactly the same as the original. it’s impossible to get an exact copy of a picasso because he himself only ever painted one. you can carbon date it etc
