I speak 5 languages, worked on wall street, bay street, and no street, even from Taxi. I got stuck in Argentina during Pandemic and transformed my life into an incredible adventure filled with inflation, overnight abrupt devaluations, capital controls, corrupted elects and a non-existing bond market. Faced with the truth about this wonderful world, I decided that creatures of jekyll islands have had their time and should be used to unique functions, after meeting with Venezuelans retirees surviving with 5$ worth of pension, I thought to myself, this could happen anywhere - so begins my journey with Fintech, Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies. As a former banker having worked for AIG as well, I am here to serve as a leader in the space through any potent medium available to me. Let's build.! I couldn't have been more passionate about a way to re-invent finance at its core level, building the new railways.
'Bank' originates from the Italian word 'banco,' meaning 'bench'. Back in the Renaissance, early bankers sat on benches in public spaces, processing financial transactions like proto-fintech professionals. And if they went bust, their 'banca' would be 'rotta,' or 'broken,' leading to the term 'bankrupt.'
