Marty first “bumped” into Bitcoin back in 2012. The story began when he was writing a paper on monetary policy for a money and banking class that he was taking. While he was googling he stumbled to a white paper and people who were talking about Bitcoin. At first, he just thought that this might be interesting but at the end of 2012 he noticed that people started writing, talking about it very much. Due to his work at futures funds he got into monetary policy and how central banks crafted. Marty also mentioned that his teacher of economics has led him to the path of observing and learning more to change something about the economy, and due to that Marty started learning more and more about Bitcoin. At first, when he started saying that bitcoin is important and may help in future and that it needs more attention, he got  laughed at. After some period of time Marty quitted his job and decided to learn and take some digital designing courses, in order to know how the users love the apps they use and how the apps are generally designed. Marty also worked in a software company, where he learned backend development, this was a great experience and helped him to make his own understanding of Bitcoin.
