Kristov has been in the computer security space for a while now. After completing a B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science, he worked as an independent security researcher and an employed consultant. During much of that time, heI evaluated the security of a variety of business websites, including those belonging to the largest corporations in the world.
He wanted to have a greater impact on the world, and yearned for a way to connect his career in security with a passion for philosophy. When he came across Bitcoin, it struck him like a bolt of lightning. He realized the implications that this incredible new technology had for human freedom, and immediately began to survey the Bitcoin landscape for a home for his particular skill set and interests.
One area that really caught his attention was the amount of folklore concerning Bitcoin's anonymity. Many critics and users falsely described the crypto-currency as fully anonymous. He also noticed that the developers tasked with improving Bitcoin's transaction privacy lacked a sense of urgency. This is how he realized that it was crucial to document for the average Bitcoin user the specific deficiencies that exist in Bitcoin today, and the best way to overcome them. And this is how he came to write his first book: Anonymous Bitcoin.
When he am not researching, writing, or speaking about financial privacy, he also co-organized the Bitcoin Philadelphia meetup group.
