ABSTRACT

One of the fizzier waves o of technological optimism in recent years has been for cryptocurrency. While fortunes have been made and lost in Bitcoin, the interest in a fully decentralised financial system has only risen. But what of design? Architecture-trained Matt Storus leads the design team at Coinbase, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. In this interview, Storus discusses the similarities and differences in working in architecture and technology, cautioning those eager to make the leap that there is a lot to learn.
