Dana Love, PhD

I'm Dana Love. I've been an economist, a builder, and an investor in crypto since 2011. I served as CTO on Layer 1 chains, as CEO of a crypto payments company, and as a core contributor to Layer 1 and Layer 2 protocols. I advised dozens of projects. I made and lost six, seven, and eight-figure fortunes across six market cycles from dot-com through crypto and AI. In 2026, I published The Token Trap. It hit #1 on Amazon in Bitcoin & Cryptocurrencies, Money & Monetary Policy, and Online Banking. I explain why crypto didn't fail, and how they took advantage of you. It also educates on how that pattern repeated in the past and how it will repeat in the future. That's what I do here. If you want to succeed in technology investing, you need to know the real rules of the game. I share my experience as an insider, an academic, and an entrepreneur who has learned and built for 30+ years.
