Within the last 5 years I have been actively involved in the entire Cryptocurrency ecosystem. A minimum of 4 hours a day would be focused on interacting with various components and stakeholders (i.e. through discords) in order to build a strong comprehension of the drivers surrounding the crypto-world and to seek investment opportunities. As such, I have developed a solid working knowledge capable of analyzing, assessing, trading and holding Crypto assets on the blockchain. I have acquired these skills independently and have a deep passion for this developing technology.
