Andrew Thomas DeSantis (born March 10, 1993) is an American software developer, investor, writer, economist, techno-utopian advocate and entrepreneur. DeSantis co-founded BTC Inc.[1] (the parent company of BTC Media, which owns Bitcoin Magazine) and is the creator of DeOS.
Education[edit]
Upon completing his first semester of Computer Science courses at the University of Alabama, DeSantis was removed from the classroom and mentored by John C. Lusth and Nicholas A. Kraft via their 100P curriculum.[2]
Career[edit]
Bit Store[edit]
In 2014, Apple removed the Blockchain wallet app from its iOS App Stores, leaving iPhone and iPad users with no native bitcoin wallet options for their devices.[3] Two months after Blockchain's removal from the App Store, DeSantis revealed that his development team, Avalonic, had found a novel workaround to Apple's bitcoin wallet ban and strict App Store regulations: Its own native app store that allows users to download and install Bitcoin-related applications on iOS. The team also announced a standalone bitcoin wallet app.[4]
