345: Navigating Crypto's Future with Eric McDonald

<p>Eric is the CEO and Board Chairman of CoinLion (https://www.coinlion.com/), a cryptocurrency auto trading platform that makes it super simple for anyone to invest in crypto.</p> <p><br></p> <p>They have executed 530K+ trades worth $1B+ and made investors $4M+ in profit to date. Many people are interested in investing in cryptocurrencies, but they&#39;re afraid to do so because they don&#39;t fully understand the complex crypto market, or where to even begin.</p> <p><br></p> <p>By allowing users to sign up to their platform, which automatically trades cryptocurrencies for them 24/7/365, CoinLion offers a solution to this problem. The platform allows users to copy expert traders’ strategies with a click of a button. Whatever the expert trades, the follower will also trade. This gives users the advantage of trading, versus simply holding crypto, which allows users to get in and out of the market at the right times.</p> <p>Eric is passionate about building outstanding teams that develop great products that are centered on the needs and wants of customers. He spent 19 years as the Founder and CEO of the urgent care software company DocuTAP (now Experity) before joining CoinLion.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Eric (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericatdocutap/) led the business through explosive growth, multiple fundraising rounds (including with Warburg Pincus and Bessemer Venture Partners), several acquisitions, and a successful merger with its biggest competitor. That combined company was acquired again for $1B+ in 2019.</p> <p>Beyond CoinLion, Eric also sits on the boards of a few other innovative tech businesses, including Phraze.AI, Journey Tellr, and SideCar.</p> <p><br></p> <p>To get a sense of Eric, here&#39;s an episode he did on the Focus605 Podcast (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2f2kj4A2HAL9VH2yUgXkRy), where they talked about how those with no prior experience trading cryptocurrencies can do so profitably in real time.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>*DISCLAIMER - We are not giving any financial advice.
