Meet the Team: Rick
Tell us about yourself.
My name is Rick Laprade. I live in Rhode Island, also known as the worst state. I have 3 special needs cats, I love pro wrestling, and I’m a published comic book writer.
Tell us what you do for Hemi?
I am one of the Hemi Discord’s community managers, I wrangle interns, and make memes and other social content.
What is your tech background?
I used to work for Upland and I follow Jeff Garzik on Twitter. That pretty qualifies me to run Twitter.
What is in your dev toolchain?
Oh…it’s way too technical. I couldn’t begin to get into it. Let’s just say it’s web3 based and that’s better than web2 by an entire web.
What’s next for cryptocurrency?
Hopefully I get some of it. That would rock. Seriously. Also, more serious even though the first point was dead serious, I think that what Hemi is doing in bringing together the Targaryans and Starks of the crypto world is going to be huge. And for the record, Bitcoin is the Starks and Etehereum is the Targaryans and I will no elaborate further.
There’s been a lot of talk about AI. How is Hemi working in that space?
I’ve really just seen some rumblings thus far, but the potential is limitless on Hemi.
What’s your favorite bit of crypto trivia?
I think my favorite trivia is that Doge Coin did not actually go to the moon, although that was what got me to buy some.
