Craig Cecilio: There are little things out there that are meant to protect people, but we’ve to figure out a way to be able to push that out there so people understand what they’re doing. It’s hard for us to tell people exactly, “Don’t invest here. That’s too much money.” That has to be in place.

People need to be educated. That’s the whole thing with crypto. Everyone wants to put money in thinking they can be a millionaire overnight. It’s really the educational component.

Sramana Mitra: As they’re getting educated, are they also getting investment recommendations that they can go and click on and sign up for?

Craig Cecilio: No investment advice. It’s a compliance thing. We can’t give investment advice. That’s another challenge. What can we say and what can’t we say from a compliance point of view? There has been a lot of oversight in the last year or two. As we move from this great bull run over the last 10-plus years to this bear market, the pendulum swings in oversight.

Colors: Le Petit Bateau

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Le Petit Bateau

Sramana Mitra: Is there a level of financial wealth at which you are finding people? Are these people beginning to build wealth?

Craig Cecilio: That’s a great question. We’re talking about this. We overlapped the statistics on the population and how many are accredited and considered sophisticated. We dove into our community and saw what that is. It was almost identical. There are about 10% to 12% considered accredited. We overlap that with our percentage and it matches. I found that fascinating.

Sramana Mitra: What percentage of the customers are in the $10,000 range?

Julien Salinas: Among our paid customers, it’s 10%. Maybe a bit less.

Sramana Mitra: How much of this is what you call major account customers?

Julien Salinas: I don’t have the exact number today, but I think it’s something like 150 to 200 like SAP and Lufthansa.
