S7 Bonus: The Real-Time Arcade: Engineering Instant Leaderboard Micropayments with Joe De Pinto of Haste Arcade
Feb 9, 2023 · Season 7 · 31 min
Make Bitcoin, just by being on the leaderboard
Joe De Pinto was born and raised in Los Angeles, and was drafted to play professional baseball in the minors for the White Sox. He's always had an active lifestyle, and now lives at the beach and surfs regularly. In 2015, he and his current co-founder started a company called Barpay, which makes it easier to get drinks at busy bars.
In January 2021, Joe and his co-founder are sitting in their office, frustrated that no one was getting what Bitcoin - that is BSV, not BTC - was originally created for. They asked themselves, what could we build to illustrate the utility of blockchain?
This is the creation story of Haste Arcade.
