Jesse Powell @jespow
Jesse Powell is the co-founder of Kraken, one of the oldest and largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. He started Kraken in 2011 after witnessing the vulnerabilities of early Bitcoin infrastructure firsthand, and built it over more than a decade into a global exchange known for security rigor and a strongly pro-crypto ideological stance.

His feed offers roughly 231,000 followers a founder's blunt perspective on how exchanges actually work, what regulators get wrong, and why crypto's original ideals still matter.
