Matt Ahlborg founded UsefulTulips to examine real-world utility use cases of cryptocurrency, drawing on peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading data to produce charts and analysis. He argued that Bitcoin activity on LocalBitcoins clustered around specific geopolitical environments, with utility, not speculation, as the primary driver. His research attracted a fellowship from SOSV/Emurgo's dlab, which agreed to fund his full-time work on cryptocurrency utility in developing countries. That research was subsequently cited or featured by outlets including the New York Times, Financial Times, CNBC, CNN, CoinDesk, and Bitcoin Magazine. He previously held affiliations with Paxful and LocalBitcoins as well.
