04 Social Web3 Wallet with Zerion — Alexander Guy
Alexander Guy is head of marketing and growth at Zerion, a Smart Social Web3 Wallet. This is a place to manage your crypto, DeFi and NFT portfolios. Trade across multichain and connect to any decentralized application.
In this episode we get into the crypto lifestyle. Why we think it’s a compelling space to be potentially looking to join a company or create a project. We talk about pitfalls of the crypto lifestyle like FOMO, always being on, stress about security, excessive time on social, information input, and challenges in getting up to speed when you’re new to crypto.
Meeting the Zerion team at ETH Barcelona in July, Alex was telling me about their new mobile crypto wallet and how the platform is extra helpful for web3 citizens. People active in DAOs, token communities and NFTs. I was preparing UFO for launch at that time, and we created a collaboration with Zerion as a sponsor of UFO.
