On one shore stands institutional finance, grounded in rigorous risk management. On the other lies the world of DeFi, defined by its radical, almost untamed, efficiency. They speak different languages and operate by different rules. So, how do you connect them without

It was a great honor to meet María Luisa Hayem, the Minister of Economy of El Salvador, today and learn about the opportunities this country provides to global founders like us. Big thanks to @XFounders_camp and @lcce01 for making this happen

Thrilled to be in the heart of Bitcoin country! 🇸🇻. My co-founder, @BEikmanns , and I are here in beautiful El Salvador at the invitation of the @XFounders_camp team for the recording of their Season 03. This trip was the perfect backdrop for us to sit down for a fireside chat

Who will drive the next wave of crypto adoption? According to Momir, the answer isn't a crypto-native firm. In this clip from our interview, he makes a bold prediction for the next 6-12 months: Big Tech will lead the charge. He expects companies like X, Meta, and Stripe to

If you have to generalize the global crypto market, it comes down to this:. The US provides the institutional VC funding. Asia provides the risk-on, retail-led adoption. This was Momir's core insight in our recent chat. He described Asia as the leading indicator for new trends,

"VC has to be the contrarian business.". This was the key takeaway from my discussion with @momir_amidzic about the 2021-2022 crypto craze. He laid it out perfectly: .✅ Amazing time for founders to raise. ✅ Good time for VCs to raise a new fund. ❌ Worst possible time to

Here is my conversation with @momir_amidzic, Managing Partner at @IOSGVC. Our discussion was an exploration of the complex systems we build to manage value, and the human trust required to make them work. Momir spends his days thinking about and investing in the future of these.

Imagine getting a few hours' notice that you're about to be "roasted" by a top VC . on camera!. That was the reality for us on the @XFounders_camp Reality show last autumn. The director announced a surprise "VC Roast" with @wayne_axia8 , the founder of @Axia8Ventures . No

Five years ago, I learned a term that perfectly defines the startup struggle: Ambidexterity. It’s the ability to manage two different realities at once. For us at Alterscope, it’s the constant tension between running the business today and building the vision for tomorrow. As I

There's a well-known saying that entrepreneurship is like jumping off a cliff and building your wings on the way down. I can tell you from experience, it’s true. Looking back at the last three years, it feels like Alterscope has been in a constant state of metamorphosis,

To move past DeFi's current limitations, we must look beyond simple automation and embrace an agentic approach, particularly for risk management. Simple scripts are static. They follow fixed paths and can't handle the true complexity of finance. Agentic systems, however, are

Is DeFi risk management just a 600-line Python script?. I was told this recently, and frankly, it's a shocking perspective. The idea that risk is a solved, commoditized problem couldn't be further from my reality. As the complexity of the space grows, I sleep worse, not better.

Are we setting up DeFi users for failure?. On the panel at "Agents Unleashed" organized by @autonolas , I argued that we are. We can't keep pushing a "Do Your Own Research" culture for risks that are incredibly complex, especially when the current user base isn't comprised of
