This year has been pretty special. My family and I traveled extensively. We finally sorted out homes in Barcelona and Bangkok after traveling for 14+ years non-stop. Our boy started school, and we found out we are having another kiddo early next year. I also sold FoundersGrid and went all in on crypto projects (as […]
Like the rest of the crypto markets, Ethereum has had a wild year. As the price of one ether has whipsawed between highs of $1,389 and lows of just $87 over the course of 2018, the platform’s developer community has continued to quietly build out more Dapps and use cases for the network. But even […]
I recently spent a week in Istanbul, my 2nd visit this year. Istanbul is a vibrant city which I really enjoy hanging out in to eat and work. The coffee shop culture is growing fast. The local cuisine is varied and delicious. The locals are very friendly. And due to the Turkish Lira weakening this […]
After a record-breaking year of more than $5.5B in funding last year, many saw a bright future for ICOs. And when looking at the raw numbers, it’s tempting to think that’s still the case.

During a late night in Bangkok a few months ago drinking wine with friends, we were discussing how news could impact the prices of cryptocurrencies. We all agreed it would be cool if there was a site that listed live coin price data alongside live news. After searching Google and not being able to find […]
I’m not a huge fan of large crypto/blockchain conferences, but do I have a lot of fun when I network and learn with interesting people in the blockchain/crypto space. With this in mind, I’m considering hosting a couple of “crypto dinners” later this year while passing through Barcelona, Dubai, Tokyo and Bangkok. Nothing fancy – […]
This is a great write up of skiing in Hokkaido, the northernmost of Japan’s main islands. I’ve been a few times and it’s frick’n awesome – especially if you visit during the Sapporo Snow Festival that’s held in late January, early February every year. Snow, huge bowls of ramen, sake and good times. I’m looking […]
I think Naval, tech investor and founder of AngelList, is one of the sharpest minds in tech. So it was a pleasure waking up this morning to see he did another Periscope chat answering random questions from his audience. The quote that really resonated with me, especially since I’m no spring chicken anymore, was: Anytime […]
