“We are travelers on a cosmic journey, stardust, swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of Infinity. Life is Eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share. This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in Eternity.”
― Paulo Coelho The Alchemist
The NERD Team
Scott Wallace - CEO
After reading Cardano’s white paper in 2017, a lightbulb went off in Scott Wallace's imagination. Seeing the vision that would forever change the future of finance around the world, gave Scott the inspiration to actively participate in the Cardano network by founding the NERD pool.
Scott's background is largely in media and real estate. A lifelong tech geek, who helped Hilton launch several new hotels in midtown Manhattan, including the Quinn hotel on W. 57th St.
“Sometimes the world unfolds in ways we would never expect, and when your path reveals itself, your heart will know to follow it”
