Rest in peace, Nehemia. You left your mark on many lives. (1962 - 2025)

This photo was taken about six months ago — November 15th, 2024 — bumped into you by chance walking out of a restaurant on the streets of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. I was only in town for a few days, and somehow our paths crossed again.

We first met nearly 5 or 6 years ago, back in 2019 or 2020, at my good friend Marek’s house in Berlin. You were in town visiting Gavin Wood, and spoke candidly about how you helped fund both Ethereum and Polkadot in their early days.

Since then, we’ve shared great moments in Zurich, Davos, St. Moritz, and NYC — and I always appreciated the Shabbat dinners you graciously invited me to.

It’s a real loss to see you go. I’ll never forget the wild stories you shared — from navigating business in pre-Soviet Russia to negotiating major deals with oligarchs in Africa.

Really fun poker game hosted by long-time friend, serial entrepreneur, and super investor Fabrice Grinda — who’s backed over 1,100 companies including Airbnb, Alibaba, and Palantir.

As always, the table was filled with top entrepreneurs and investors he brings together every quarter.

I first met Fabrice in Paris, when I was 18, at the Le Web Conference back in 2012, hosted my mutual friend Loic Le Meur. Fabrice was speaking about the sharing economy as a defining trend of the Web 2.0 era.

A couple of years later, while I was working with the Founders Forum in 2015, I remember him hosting an unforgettable after-party at his newly acquired NYC penthouse.

Now, a decade later, he’s selling it for $13M — complete with jaw-dropping views and an impressive art collection.

Fabrice also shared wild stories from his OLX days — the global classifieds giant he co-founded in 2006 and exited in 2014. The platform now generates over $3B in annual revenue.

He’s also recently become a father of two, and called it the best feeling in the world — even admitting he’s surprised by how much he enjoys it and looks forward to growing his family further.

As for the poker? A few lucky hands and I walked away with almost 3x my buy-in. Great cards, greater company.

Excited for Unit Poker, which is a decentralised heads-up(1vs1) Texas holdem poker game where 0.5% of each hand winnings go to $POKERCOIN holders.

The coolest thing is unlike poker sites/apps which are real-time, it’s turn-based/asynchronous so similar to the chess apps when each game/hand can take place over days.

Great meeting with Bermuda’s Premier, David Burt — a true pioneer in shaping the future of digital finance.

Bermuda is one of the most crypto-forward nations in the world. The government has built strong regulatory frameworks to support leading exchanges, wallets, and protocols.

Circle (issuer of USDC), BlockFi, and XBTO are just a few major players that chose to set up on the island.

With no income, capital gains, or corporate tax, it’s an attractive destination for crypto builders and investors.

David created Hitch — Bermuda’s local ride-sharing app. It works smoothly, creates jobs, and shows what’s possible in regions underserved by global tech platforms.

Will be interesting to see how Unit Drive can draw inspiration from this.

The Unit Drive model pays 95% of ride fees directly to drivers, while the remaining 5% is shared with the $DRIVECOIN community — creating real ownership and alignment.

Being decentralized and permissionless also means it naturally integrates with AI agents and autonomous vehicles.

The future of mobility is open, intelligent, and community-owned. Excited for what’s ahead!

Always a fascinating meal and conversation with Marian Goodell, CEO of Burning Man — the legendary gathering that brings together tens of thousands in the Nevada desert, and has now welcomed over 1.5 million people since its inception.

Each year, many of the world’s leading entrepreneurs, artists, and investors make a pilgrimage to Black Rock City for the burn.

Marian, based in San Francisco, first attended in 1995 and became one of six original founders when Burning Man began formalizing in 1997.

She also helps to introduce the 10 Principles that define the ethos of the burn:
1. Radical Inclusion
2. Gifting
3. Decommodification
4. Radical Self-Reliance
5. Radical Self-Expression
6. Communal Effort
7. Civic Responsibility
8. Leaving No Trace
9. Participation
10. Immediacy

She’s a strong advocate for decentralized leadership, empowering individuals and communities to take initiative and co-create shared experiences — values that deeply align with what the crypto and blockchain space should strive toward.

My favorite part of the burn? Riding around on a bicycle, soaking in the art. Many people assume it’s all about doing drugs, but I generally don’t drink or do any drugs when I go — and still feel it’s the most inspiring artistic experience in the world.

I’m excited to explore how crypto, token economies, and the Unit Network can support artists, fund creative projects, and help evolve Burning Man into a sustainably resourced, decentralized cultural institution through tokenisation.

It could become a blueprint for the future — a global network of communities that function like network states, potentially redefining governance and governments altogether.

Came across these 12-year-old photos from 2013/2014.

It captures a moment where I did a test transaction of paying with Bitcoin on the island of Jersey — and few months prior attended a Bitcoin talk at the le web conference by James Currier.

It seemed like it was too late to get into Bitcoin and crypto then. The Chinese government had even talked about banning it with a statement from People’s bank of China.

“Chinese financial institutions are no longer permitted to handle Bitcoins. Bitcoins interfere with normal monetary policy, and
could be used for money laundering. User anonymity is not permitted."

I was 19 at the time, just out of high school(6th form). I had decided to skip university to focus full-time on continuing to build mobile apps and tech companies.

Then, Bitcoin spiked in 2011 from a low $2 to a high of $31 after a Gawker article titled “The Underground Website Where You Can Buy Any Drug Imaginable” referring to the “Silk Road” dark web marketplace. Then dropped as low as $4 in 2012 again.

The following year it skyrocketed to $1,147 in 2013 — before crashing to $309 in 2014. A real rollercoaster.

I remember when it crossed $1 then $10, both felt like a similar milestone to when it recently crossed $100k. Won’t be long before it crosses $1m, then $10m.

In 2012, the Bitcoin ATM across from my London apartment with a 7% fee on purchases seemed steep. In hindsight, the key was just jumping on the rocket ship. 🚀

People were already talking about it growing 100 times in the future — which seemed crazy. Yet today, Bitcoin is over 10,000 times higher in price and market cap, and the party is just getting started.

Recall having dinner with Verner Vogels(CTO of Amazon) and the founders of Slockit behind “the DAO” on Ethereum in 2013 which later raised 11.5m ETH(worth $100m then, now $26B).

Bitcoin was $100, and we joked that someday it would cross $100k and it would be a different world, and almost a decade later, here we are. Let’s see what happens in a decade from now.

With Unit Network, we’ve built technology and infrastructure that makes it easy for businesses and individuals everywhere to accept Bitcoin — and use it as a reserve asset.

I truly believe UnitCoin can follow a similar growth trajectory to Bitcoin. Exciting times ahead!

Epic lunch with US presidential candidate and UBI pioneer(universal basic income), Andrew Yang, aimed to provide all Americans with a freedom dividend of $1000 per month. We only recently met in person through my friend James after connecting virtually a decade ago. 

Andrew is currently on a mission to build the first mobile telecom provider making mobile access more it affordable, and has raised lots of investment from top backers. 

Andrew is a big fan of the Unit Network tokenisation model and vision, and praising it as what could be the successor to the freedom dividend wage, by making everyone a micro investor and stakeholder in all businesses globally. 

Joined by Unit Network investor, James Chiu who runs Vatic Investments, which he started in 2014, leader in using artificial intelligence to do quant trading. 

Previously, James worked at top trading firm Jump Trading in Chicago, where he became one of the biggest counterparties for S&P futures, trading over 30% of the entire future market. 

Have met lots of the Vatic team who ranging from top traders which were in the famous novel/book “Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt”, to the previous head of Artificial Intelligence at Microsoft. 

Really excited to tokenise $VATIC, and work closely with this partnership as artificial intelligence will likely replace the role of all funds globally with capital flowing around the economy more freely like water, and if all go well, powered by the Unit Network.

Andrew and James are both very passionate about supporting the Asian entrepreneur community which is something that I’m excited to help with. 

Andrew previously launched the “GoldenDao” which has this as its mission. Unit Network is looking to roll out $ASIANCOIN, as well as a several ecosystem coins which supporting demographics, like $ARABCOIN, $JEWCOIN, $BLACKCOIN and more! 

The mission behind these is to create more understanding, alignment and appreciation for the various cultures and bridge more investment and opportunities. Stay tuned!

Fun tennis game with my dad, Paul in Central Park, New York. He plays daily at the Tanglin Club in Singapore. 

Interesting fun fact - the Tanglin Club(one of the most exclusive clubs globally) has the most valuable courts in the world in real estate terms, located on Orchard Road in downtown Singapore, which has the second highest land cost globally behind Hong Kong. Will be hosting a lunch there alongside Token2049 for $UNITCOIN holders. 

Been playing tennis for 24 years since I was 7, and have a love for the sport. Hope to have more opportunity to play in the future. 

Was travelling with my tennis racquet at one point but it got confiscated going through security check, as a flight carry on, in Saudi Arabia in 2019, for being a weapon risk. 😂

My father, Paul, is also a blockchain developer and does great in supporting our Unit Network engineering team. 

It’s nice that we get to work and spend more quality time building something together as my previous companies, had built independently.

After a 2500km bike ride from Kuala Lumpur to Laos in 2015, we started collaborating, which evolved to become Unit Network.

He moved to Singapore and founded Cargoweb in the 1990s, leading supply chain and shipping software company globally, which powered the technology and operations for over 50 major ports then got acquired in the mid 2000s, after the dot com bubble, which I got to witness growing up. 

As one of the first technology companies in Asia putting enterprise software on the cloud, with my mum, Sandra, as the CEO. Quite cool given the need for more women in leadership roles and technology. 

I remember growing up going to their office with hundreds of staff at International Plaza in the central business district(CBD) in Singapore, and inspired to someday build something similar. 

Excited to see how Unit Network can play a role in the tokenisation of the tennis industry. We are rolling out a $SPORTCOIN, which supports the tokenisation of athletes and teams, which include tennis players, who often struggle to fund their career, especially if not yet in the top 100 in the world.

Most incredible time at Superhuman in Stockholm, hosted by Ash Pournouri, former manager of Avicii and behind the Brilliant Minds community which gathers a super interesting group yearly in Stockholm every June. Superhuman was cohosted together with Bryan Johnson, the “World’s Healthiest Human”.

Superhuman is the leading community globally focused on biohacking and longevity. I’m very new to this field but super interested and fascinated.

Later in the evening, had a fun night out with Bryan Johnson at one of the coolest nightclubs in town called “Wall”.

We spoke about his recent collaboration with Balaji Srinivasen on Network States, which I thought was super cool, and was seeing how I could help support the cause.

Looking forward to hosting a curated 200 person Unit Network Conference after Brilliant Minds and Superhuman next year. As well as several other cities globally.

Was my first time to Stockholm(second visit to Sweden), loved it so much, definitely one of my favourite city in the world.

Grateful for the invite from Ashiesh, who is one of the biggest exporters of Chinese electric cars globally. Working closely with him to roll out Unit Network with the support of major governments globally!

So happy to bump into long time friend Simon Telian at the Superhuman afterparty in Stockholm. He happened to be in town for a wedding.

Quite serendipitous as he had invited me countless times to Stockholm but hadn’t taken him up on the offer and it was my first time there. We went the next day for some Swedish meatballs which was tasty.

We met 7 years ago in 2018, when he was based in Cape Town, he wrote to me on Telegram to ask if he could join our Afrikaburn camp.

He liked that we had many cool DJs, a tea lounge and that we were entrepreneurial and innovators.

The Afrikaburn camp was epic, organised with my friends Ethereum pioneer Marek and early Bitcoin miner Garrett. We brought together about 80 friends who didn’t know each other from around the world.

Joined by Gavin Wood who created Ethereum /Polkadot, Peter Noszek who built crypto conference Token2049, Matt Siegel of leading festival Envision and countless others.

Invited Pavel of Telegram too, who was going to join our Afrikaburn camp, though unfortunately he had to cancel last minute as Russia had banned the messaging app 2 days prior with a wild DDOS attack.

I helped to set up proxy servers from the desert to support in bypassing this ban. Pavel paid me in Bitcoin to cover the server costs. Also, I connected him to Werner Vogels(CTO of Amazon) who unfortunately couldn’t help much as he said it was risky for his staff.

So Simon was new to crypto, met lots of interesting crypto people at our camp, got into it and fast forward a few years, took the first blockchain company public in Europe, on the Frankfurt stock exchange, “Advanced Blockchain” which grew to about an €80m market cap.

He recently left the firm he built as CEO, “Advanced Blockchain”, and we discussed working closely on Unit Network in building the global decentralised stock exchange for the world. We had been meaning to set up a call for weeks, so this discussion was perfect!

Simon is one of two advisors for blockchain to the Japanese government which is amazing!

Would be fun to see how we could roll out the token economy across Japan. Love this country too, and go skiing in Niseko there yearly. Come join!

Fun afternoon bike ride with my friend Oliver Tree, who is leading Unit Network with creative strategic direction and making lots of viral videos for the cause.

We cycled past Wall Street to check out the Circle IPO, which grew to a market cap/valuation of $28B almost immediately.

Huge congrats to the CEO Jeremy Allaire for the countless years of hard work leading up to this success.

I recently got approached by an investment bank to create a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange for Unit Network. Has always been a dream to ring the opening bell and take a company public. Let’s see!

Especially since Unit Network aspires to be the global stock exchange/market for the world.

Though, maybe Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange will be seen as legacy infrastructure like Newspapers in comparison.
