@BowTiedMargay @VitalikButerin Surely could bench press you, I bet top digital dollar

🤳 I’m not one for selfies, but we snapped one with @VitalikButerin at an incredible moment - I couldn’t help but reflect on just how fast Warsaw’s deep-tech scene is exploding, especially in #Web3 and #AI 🧵👇

[Blake Lezenski🙏 @blakebeyond]

🦾 If you’re building Web3 or AI in Poland, let’s connect. That’s where the future is getting coded.

[Blake Lezenski🙏 @blakebeyond]

🌐 Think globally. Build locally. That’s the Warsaw way - driven by educational excellence, innovation, and a community that believes in Poland first, Europe next, global always.

[Blake Lezenski🙏 @blakebeyond]

🤫Our secret sauce? A crazy-high proportion of engineers & top-notch free higher education. GDP per capita is up 300%+ in 3 decades - unmatched in Europe. Almost 20% of Poland’s GDP comes from Warsaw alone, driven by a booming ICT sector (~$53B in 2021).

[Blake Lezenski🙏 @blakebeyond]

🇵🇱Poland’s economy is riding a rocket. GDP per capita hit ~$45.7K in 2024 and is on track to reach $55.2K by 2030 - overtaking Japan, Israel, Spain and closing in on the UK ($57K).

"Don't lead with features - lead with benefits. Don't tell me it runs on blockchain or uses AI. Tell me WHY it matters and what value it creates for real people."

@blakebeyond (@OVioHQ) shares the key to successful pitches: Start simple, solve real problems, and focus on the human impact behind the technology.

His insight: The best tech adoption happens when users experience the magic without needing to understand the complexity underneath.
