Lucas Nuzzi

Lucas Nuzzi is Network Data Product Manager at Coin Metrics. Formerly, Director of Technology Research at Digital Asset Research, Researching/Programming/Hacking #Bitcoin since '12.

For the past six years, the majority of my waking hours have been dedicated to the research and development of distributed financial systems. I was fortunate enough to have stumbled upon Bitcoin in 2012 while still in college, which allowed me to play with its codebase and slowly digest its technology. I started my career developing blockchains for notarization and time-stamping, when the digital asset market was a fraction of what it is today. At Digital Asset Research, I oversee the firm's research on the underlying technology of cryptoassets by reviewing and testing the code of their implementations and assisting in the data collection process. For what it’s worth, my comments on this topic have been featured on Bloomberg, Businessweek, Forbes, Fortune Magazine, Investopedia, CoinDesk, Economic Times, RT, amongst many other publications.
