In 2022 I'd dropped of college recently (with a full-time job).
A little later I had an offer to work at Tether and another to work in IB at JPM. I'm pretty sure my dad would've been a little more thrilled to see me go into banking than work remote for a crypto company.
I was totally convinced stablecoins were the future and took the Tether job -- anyways, now a couple years later at Agora we just announced we're filing for a bank charter with the OCC.
