5/5 One such firm I have already been collaborating with is @nathanalmond_ and the folks at Nebula Inc (https://t.co/rW46NTCPjn).
As a recruitment agency, these guys receive fraudulent applications to roles they are trying to recruit for on a near daily basis - many of which are North Korean operatives. Information they have shared about these fake profiles has directly led to me notifying multiple companies that have already unknowingly hired North Koreans and burning many personas which DPRK have spent time and money trying to curate.
Nathan/Alex - thanks very much for your support and Nebula's contribution towards making this space safer to operate and hire in.

I left crypto in the 2018 bear market never thinking it would come back.
In 2019, 12 months after leaving, I realised I had a passion for crypto that would never leave me, so I decided to study a Masters’s degree focused on blockchain and AI in finance.
My entire cohort of classmates either stayed in finance or moved into AI. I was the only person who stayed in crypto.
I realised I knew way too much about the space to choose anything else.
Even in 2019, AI was super hot and getting hotter. Now is no different.
I stuck to crypto throughout the growing AI hype and continue to do so today. I’m as passionate as ever about using crypto to create meaningful impact for society.
I tried leaving crypto behind me 8 years ago and it didn’t work. I expect many people leaving the space will be back in crypto in 12-24 months time, who are trying (or forced) to leave the industry now.
People in crypto are some of the smartest thinkers globally. Some will leave for good and go on to do amazing things. Others will stay, who are motivated to push the industry forward in a positive and sustainable way.
Either way, crypto is set up extremely well here for the long term. Crypto people have knowledge you can’t find anywhere else across multiple domains. They are built like no other and can regulate emotions through extremely volatility.
It has been an honour dedicating my career to crypto and I look forward to doing it for many years to come.
There’s a lot more to build. If you’re like me and dedicated / passionate about moving the industry forward and have cool ideas about how to do so - please reach out.
Facebook runs on dedicated fiber
Amazon runs on dedicated fiber
Google runs on dedicated fiber
OpenAI runs on dedicated
NASDAQ runs on dedicated fiber
NYSE runs on dedicated fiber
High Frequency Trading firms run on dedicated fiber (and faster stuff)
If blockchain wants to compete, it needs its own dedicated fiber network. @doublezero can 100x the throughput of blockchains and let them compete against tradfi on a level playing fiend by bypassing the public internet.
so, looking back, 2025 was really about DATs buying - that carried the market. and the ensuing speculation that green candles creates.
now that this is mostly played out, the only real catalyst i can think of is indeed USA tradfi shifting biz/infra logic onchain.
we know bessent like stables, because he can repatriate american offshore $$ and stablecoin issuers tend to buy treasuries with them.
so a growing stablecoin market would imply that the infra surrounding this (both front and back ends) should grow as well. and that's mostly on ethereum and it's extended family (L2s).
also why the neobank narrative is picking up & there are no clear winners in this space yet.
a growing market + building the consumer facing distribution rails feels like a great opportunity.
I’m excited to share that I’ve joined @babylonlabs_io as Chief Marketing Officer.
I truly believe in Babylon’s mission to make Bitcoin productive. This is one of the most important steps forward for Bitcoin’s evolution and long term utility.
I’ve been in this space long enough to know what’s real and what’s noise. Babylon is building real Bitcoin utility that is trustless, programmable and useful.
Trustless Bitcoin Vaults are the first step. Borrow and lend native Bitcoin on Ethereum with no custodians and no wrappers. This is Bitcoin becoming productive. This is BTCFi as it should be.
If you care about fundamentals and where crypto is heading, this is the path forward.
I’m here to push it.
