Kenna's a class act. I had funds at both incarnations of TradeHill. Each time they closed, I was promptly made whole.
Sad to see him disillusioned. Though I don't know what he'd expect. Bitcoin will still change the world for the better. But to do so will require mass adoption. Mass adoption requires speculative early interest. Whatevs.
Well, at least he has found another passion.
Call me a cynic but it sounds like he cashed out too early and now he’s pissed off. Just like when Mike Hearn rage quit.
Kenna, who is 37, said he owns only half a Bitcoin, valued at about $4,000. He used to hold thousands, initially bought for cents on the dollar, and headed TradeHill Inc.-- the U.S.’s first cryptocurrency exchange -- handling a quarter of all global Bitcoin trades.
Kenna has gotten out partly involuntarily: He accidentally erased 800 Bitcoins (valued at about $6.5 million now) from his computer in 2010, and then lost millions of dollars’ worth to a hack in 2016.
