- "I’ve always been drawn to a mix of things—never just one path. My work lives in that overlap between traditional craft and digital experimentation. Oil painting has been my medium for years. But I’ve also been deep in Ethereum since 2021.."
- “The first thing that drew me to Ethereum wasn’t finance—it was truth. I imagined a new kind of platform, where people could verify information together instead of being told what to believe. That same idea is what still drives me today.."
- “I used to work in consulting for traditional banks in Australia—where four banks control about 80% of the market. It wasn’t innovative. You’re just helping ‘the man’ make more money or cut costs. And then I heard about Ethereum...

- "I got into Bitcoin back in 2013—before Ethereum even existed. A friend of mine, Dankrad, introduced me to it while we were working together as engineers, programming FPGAs. We were both deep in the weeds technically. Later, I returned the favor and introduced him to Ethereum. So
- "I was born in Ukraine right as communism fell. My parents made the decision to move us to the U.S. when I was seven. My dad’s an entrepreneur, and watching him start from scratch in a new country shaped a lot of who I am. He raised me and my sister to question everything, to be
- "Six or seven years ago, I was going through a really tough time financially. I was working in recruitment at an agency in London, absolutely hating it. The culture was brutal with long hours, intense pressure, and no real sense of purpose. One night, I overheard a friend talking
