Present: Publisher at CryptoCurated Substack — Your Weekly Curated Crypto Insights ⚡ Where Chaos Meets Clarity in Crypto ⚡ Always Free!!! Always Wednesday (except once!)!!! No ads, no placements, no referral links. ♥️☀️✌️ Freedom for newbies & experts alike. Past & Lessons: I’ve spent two decades building (and sometimes breaking) in fintech, e-payments, and Web3. I’ve launched gold-backed currencies, pioneered ransomware-proof infrastructure, and raised $5M+ for decentralized cybersecurity. Some ventures soared, others stumbled — but every cycle sharpened my ability to see not just opportunities, but also the forces working against them. • 💡 Anticipating resistance from incumbents, regulators, or competitors has been as valuable as innovating itself. • 💡 Learned that innovation often fails not from lack of vision, but from friction — political, commercial, or cultural. • 💡 Built resilience by studying adversaries’ incentives and adapting systems to withstand them. Highlights: • Team publicly credited with the world’s 1st gold-backed cryptocurrency (2014, INNcoin). • Innovating in fintech/finserv since 2002. • Web3 builder since 2013. • Advocate for trust, clarity, and truth in chaotic markets. ⸻ 👉 The difference: instead of just saying “failed,” you’re showing why it mattered — because it gave you the toolkit to predict, understand, and outmaneuver enemies of innovation.
