Going Public With Bitcoin App Fold

Will Reeves, CEO of Fold, is hyperfocused on making it easy to save in Bitcoin. As the new Bitcoin user looks different than previous cycles, so does the modern Bitcoin company. Fold is going public on the thesis that the average American needs low friction options to orient their existing habits around saving in Bitcoin.

Notes:

• Fold vs other public crypto companies

• Different company models each cycle

• Successful (and unsuccessful) products

• Starbucks & airline miles, but with Bitcoin
