📖 My Crypto Journey

• “Really, you can have code on-chain?” → discovery of Ethereum
• ICO days (2016–2018): participated in 20+ ICOs, first exposure to major projects
• DeFi boom (2020–2021): yield farming, staking, early L2 adoption → strong portfolio growth
• Entrepreneurship leap: invested all into building → founded CryptoSimple
• On the way to success: raised $1M, media coverage, 1K users, 650K AUM
• Terra crash (2022): direct losses, ecosystem shaken
• Entrepreneurship failure: missed product-market fit, tried to pivot
• Exit (2025): sold CryptoSimple shares, gained hard-earned lessons
• Maturity: joined Crystal Intelligence → scaled org, contributed to Series B led by Tether
• Today: builder, entrepreneur, advisor, and engineering leader
