The next era of CTOs won’t win by being extremely selective about stacks. They’ll win by erasing them. A completely invisible infra and a seamless experience. Users won’t know what tech stack powers a product or service. They’ll just know it never breaks.

Europe has become the Nokia for the blockchain market. Too rigid, too conventional, and a bit late. Obviously, once the law passes, the volume can go into billions, but Europe has just become way too irrelevant for modern tech because of its orthodox nature. After trying to

We have built cross-chain bridges. I know their architecture, the trade-offs, and the risks. Most bridges will either disappear or become irrelevant in the next few years. Why? Because most of them are just EVM-to-EVM wrappers, they duplicate the same logic, fight for the same
