I am Donald McIntyre. Here, on Etherplan, I research, write articles, & podcast about Ethereum Classic, Bitcoin, and decentralized applications.


My Story

I was born in Costa Rica, raised in Argentina, and now I'm living in the United States. I was a financial consultant at UBS Securities and Morgan Stanley. Later I started several companies in the fintech sector, receiving investments from prominent VCs such as SoftBank and Carlos Slim. In 2012 I learned about Bitcoin, and, in 2013, I started a blog and podcast about the fintech and blockchain industries. In 2015, I started a company called Etherplan, a global wealth management platform on Ethereum, and co-founded Global Financial Access Inc. with Nick Szabo, a blockchain pioneer. In 2018, I worked as business development and marketing manager at ETCDEV. Since December of 2018 I have been working on communicating and coordinating various activities on the Ethereum Classic ecosystem.
