Ok I have a story for you… Yes I used to be a “gangsta” Dropped out of college to play professional poker, created a top 10 online poker rakeback site (https://t.co/0Ga34eUNov) via viral marketing because online poker advertising became illegal Gambled with NJ mafia members frequently in Nutley, NJ’s legendary club called “Legends” — and I loved it Got kicked out of Atlantic City multiple times leaving $1000s on the table cuz I was underage 18-20 Gave up my Economics Scholarship to pursue the underground Rounder’s life. Why? Because I went to an elite high school and it was better than my first 2 years of college and I felt that “probability thinking” was far more valuable to my education than what School was offering which was boring af.. I would have stuck around if I chose physics, probably. I had made websites since 12 years old, I knew the future was on the Internet. I almost created DoorDash after dropping out haha, I was willing to drive my eclipse to and from McDonald’s and back then for friends who didn’t have a car… I’ve never cheated my way through life, my father’s Christian cult background had engrained in me it’s important to stay ethical, my mother’s Korean Buddhist background had me aware about karma But yes, I was and am a rebel, it’s genetic I guess. Both my grandparents were accomplished entrepreneurs in their own right. So now we are here... And, I’ve actually somehow contributed to computer science as a drop-out funding meaningful things for Supra and the entire computer science industry too. I’m probably eventually going to start or tap my old connections to create provably fair decentralized online poker on Supra using advanced cryptography we have developed. Imagine, if anyone who brings others in own 50% of their rake generated for life: on a shared security and player community field. Yes I played with the mafia. I was a good tipper and never complained win or lose, and they liked me as a result. I’m not your typical founder. I’m willing to take risks. I got into blockchain after realizing those poker rooms like full tilt and ultimate bet were not paying us out properly We were a top 10 super affiliate (they made movies about us — search Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck’s “Runner Runner”) and our player metrics grew but our revenue would plateau I complained to my partner but we had no recourse. After selling the project, moving to San Francisco, and finding about Ethereum… I finally realized blockchain’s purpose Get rid of extracting middleman that don’t have to be there that lie. That’s when I went all in. Blockchain = fairness I initially focused fully on scaling Ethereum… but my early SF connections there were entitled, elitist ethereum skinny white boys that were so fucking snobbish … Any ways, I’m here today and the only folks we will give our parallel EVM execution strategy is to Eth L1 and exchange chains that would like to get closer to us. More on this story soon. I have no credentials other than co-authoring or funding protocols that the top of the top of academia recognizes. Funny coming from a college drop out.
