How much would you attribute your current success to the crypto world?

Are you mostly into bitcoins, or do you stock litecoins etc?

This person might be too personal but how much of a holder are you? x,xxx coins? xx,xxx coins?

Congrats on your success btw
I was on the Python team as the VP of Business Development at BeOpen (Python 2.0), which is the programming language Google was written in. I went to work for Google following that, enhancing the evolution and adoption of the Python language. After that, I went to Amazon, and concurrently worked as a consultant for a veritable who's-who of adult companies, including SexKey, Sex.com, MobBucks, GigaCash, Playboy, Pride Studios, PimpRoll, Reality Cash, and a ton of others.

After that, I started a number of valley companies which were acquired early, and I'm currently doing another venture-backed Silicon Valley startup at Plug and Play in Sunnyvale, where PayPal and Dropbox were born. I'm also consulting for Google again, and a few others.

In adult, I obviously coded Autoblogger Pro Stand Alone, but Chio ran away with the money. I also started FeedPushers (the first morphing RSS in adult), which had a ton of success before being bought.

As far as my "current" success, I attribute that to being an excellent developer and development manager, and always delivering on what I promise. People know that my word is gold, and that if I tell you a project is going to happen, it happens. Because of this, I can charge a princely sum for my work and be able to sleep just fine at night.

My cryptocurrency bots trade in Bitcoin, Litecoin, DOGEcoin, and a number of others. As far as a "long term" investor, I am more of an "in and out" trader, although I do hold quite a bit of DOGEcoin and Bitcoin. My wallets aren't very hard to find in the blockchain -- I don't hide them much, and they stand out due to their size.
