Everything always starts with one. One human being with one thought. One glimpse into one possible future. One person who has a vision to fix one aspect of this worlds brokenness. One paragraph. One step. One moment. One raindrop. Everything starts at one.
TuitionCoin came to me as an idea after reading "Red Blooded Risk" in the winter of 2013. The book was to improve the way my trading algorithms handle risk. Just like any risk, what happened next was unexpected. This one, tiny paragraph stopped me in my tracks. I put the book on the side of my bed and lay awake dreaming of the implications. The paragraph described potential uses of derivatives for main street. Immediately; in that one moment it became clear to me how finance could improve the lives of millions of students and retirees.
