Daniel Larimer received a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Computer Science from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in 2003. He is a visionary software engineer and serial entrepreneur who is focused in the areas of blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, decentralized exchanges, economic systems and freedom.

Dan Larimer is the CTO and co-founder of Steemit, Inc. He's also the CEO of Cryptonomex, Inc. which is a blockchain technology consulting company. He also founded BitShares and Invictus Innocations. He originated the idea of the "decentralized autonomous company" or DAC.

In 2009 he was attempting to engineer a digital currency when he discovered Bitcoin. He immediately got involved with Bitcoin and began communicating with Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto in a Bitcoin forum. At this time he was alarmed by the amount of centralized exchanges being arbitrarily shut down. He came to the conclusion that decentralized exchanges would become necessary. It was at this time he created BitShares and invented BitUSD which is the first trustless cryptocurrency pegged to the dollar. For over two years he innovated and fine-tuned blockchain technology to support a decentralized exchange. The resulting technology is called Graphene and is what powers BitShares and Steem.

Dan's stated mission in life is "to find free market solutions to secure life, liberty, and property for all.

In March, 15, 2017, Dan resigned Steemit Inc with a post - Today I submitted my Resignation to Steemit, inc - published in his Steemit account.
