David A. Johnston serves as the Chief Operating Officer of DLTx, a tech company based in Norway focused on funding, building, and supporting open-source public blockchains.

David’s 10-Year Journey in Bitcoin / Blockchain:
In 2012, he became passionate about the potential of Bitcoin and how it can be a hedge for inflation and progress for censorship resistance.  In 2013, he spoke at the very first Bitcoin Summit in San Jose, CA, and met many of the like-minded entrepreneurs who would later start Coinbase, Shapeshift, Binance, Bitcoin.com to make the world more open and free.  That same year, David co-founded BitAngels with friends – the world’s largest Angel network to invest in the blockchain industry.  In 2014, he wrote the first white paper for The General Theory of Decentralized Application.  As one of the first investors in Mastercoin (Now Omni Protocol which is used by the first stable coin Tether’s USDT), David became the chairman of the board to facilitate the first-ever ICO.  In 2015, he co-founded Dapps Fund – the first all token fund.  LP’s contributed Bitcoins, they were reinvested into Mastercoin, Ethereum, Maidsafe, Factom, and many more projects.  The tokens were distributed at the end of 2 years back to the LPs at the end of 2016.

Additionally, David enjoyed being one of the first few people to analyze Vitalik’s whitepaper:
