Wasn’t rich. Wasn’t famous. Wasn’t well-connected. Certainly wasn’t a super-dev or a crypto savant. (Still not…) I was just a guy that realized blockchain technologies and decentralized computing platforms would revolutionize everything. I wanted to be part of that.
The potential for these technologies to make the world a better place is real.
I felt compelled to help crypto reach its potential however I could.
I want to share with you some of the (very) small things I’ve done to help the blockchain revolution along. My aim isn’t to boast – it’s to encourage you to do what you can, however small it may seem. It matters. Get involved. Help change the world. Please.
Hello, World!
CallMeGwei.com becomes a part of the internet as a result of the author being overwhelmed by blockchain technology and exhausted by the amount of misinformation.

FontAwesome Inclusion
I advocated for the community at /r/ethtrader to reach out and push for inclusion of an Ethereum icon. They did. Ten days later it was a reality.

Around The World
After being previously contacted by ethfans.org – one of my articles was translated to Chinese and posted on their site. My article, in a language I couldn’t even understand. Very cool.

CFTC Public Comments
Watched the U.S. Senate Committee hearing. Stumbled on a link to leave Public comments on CFTC cryptocurrency considerations. Reviewed ten other public comments and left my own. Suggested other redditors do the same. Positive response. Over sixty additional comments posted in less than a day.
