Many people find that the crypto-finance space is quite difficult for non-technical people to understand and interact with the technologies. Some projects and people have made tremendous progress in creating tools and interfaces that allow a broader audience to participate, speculate, and learn.

Taylor Monahan started MyEtherWallet as a side project in 2015, only for it to grow into one of the significant pieces of software people used to participate in the 2017 ICO boom. She has since "design-forked" the codebase and created MyCrypto, an open-source tool for generating ether wallets, handling ERC-20 tokens, and interacting with the blockchain with a clean and intuitive design.

Topics covered in this episode:

Taylor's background, and how she got into cryptocurrency
What her experience was with Ethereum so early in the projects lifecycle
How Reddit comments helped guide the feature list in the early days of MyEtherWallet
How the DAO hack got her working full time on MyEtherWallet

How Taylor wants MyCrypto to change the user experience in cryptocurrency
