Chris Maurice, CEO of Nigeria-based crypto exchange Yellow Card, made his first business venture into the crypto space back in 2015, selling Bitcoin (BTC) on eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY).
"We did that for about a week and we did over $40,000 in sales at a 100% markup," Maurice told Cointelegraph in an interview. "We were seeing stars at this point," he recounted, describing his euphoria at the time.
