Alright, Let’s Dive Right In!
1) Tell us a little about yourself. What is your background?
-
I initially completed an apprenticeship as a specialist in economic and tax advisory professions, followed by graduating with a degree in Business Administration.
-
I have worked at various international consulting companies.
-
I specialize in strategic marketing and sales.
-
I have been involved in cryptocurrency around the clock since 2021 as a founder and advisor.*
2) How did you get interested and involved with Blockchain/Crypto?
Developers from my old company told me that I should buy Bitcoin, and I followed their advice.
3) Why Cardano?
*- Setting up stake pools is much easier and more cost-effective compared to other chains.
-
The funding mechanisms on Cardano are unparalleled.
-
Emphasis on Decentralization and Governance.
-
Some friends invested in ADA before I did and assisted me in configuring the pool to produce blocks.*
4) How are you contributing to the Cardano Ecosystem as an Ambassador?
*To strengthen Cardano, I aim to bring as many businesses and institutions to the platform as possible. Through my professional activities over the past 30 years, I have developed an extensive network that I can now leverage to strategically place information about Cardano. Additionally, as a member of various business clubs and networks, I am well-positioned to inform them effectively about Cardano in my roles as an ambassador and entrepreneur.
For instance, in the past, I have successfully guided the following projects to Cardano:
-
SmartPlaces.io (initially launched on Ocean, I introduced the project to Cardano and connected it with my Cardano contacts)
-
The renowned artist Flying Förtress originally planned to launch his NFT collection TeddyTroops.io on Ethereum, but I was able to assist in shifting it to Cardano.*
5) What is your future vision for the Cardano Ecosystem?
By harnessing its research-driven approach and robust Proof of Stake mechanism, Cardano might focus on enhancing scalability, interoperability, and user-friendliness to support a wide range of industries including finance, healthcare, and education. Additionally, it could expand its ecosystem through partnerships with global organizations, aiming to drive real-world blockchain adoption in developing regions.
6 ) What is your personal message to the Cardano community?
*1. Wallets will be as essential as browsers! As such, identity data should reside solely in your wallet, not in any data silos, regardless of their design.
-
Aim to establish as many connections as possible to determine who you can truly collaborate with to create added value for Cardano.
-
Seek an external sparring partner, ideally a successful entrepreneur, to critically discuss your future decisions. While the boomer generation may not seem as trendy, they often possess invaluable business knowledge that can be crucial for success.*
