Made a podcast with Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes) in Seoul during KBW. As far as I know he's never done an interview for the CIS audience before, so we're the first. Exclusive for Invest Zone. It's short but we got through a lot. We covered FLOP (@flop_labs), the airdrop, and what he actually thinks makes it different. Plus what happened with BitMEX, my first liquidation and which narratives he's watching right now.

I see some tweets right now that a lot of T1 exchanges are starting to offer money for Binance FUD. @cz_binance talked about it too. Back in February I was at an event in Hong Kong. Won't say which one. Got introduced to someone as the biggest crypto influencer in the Russian speaking world. We talked for a while and then he offered me $25K to spend the whole month FUDing Binance and CZ. Said no, laughed it off like he was joking. We both knew he wasn't. Eight months later and apparently this is becoming standard practice. We have to do better than this ☝️

Just recorded an interview with @CryptoHayes. Started trading on BitMEX back in 2018 while working construction here in Korea. Eight years later I'm sitting across from him with a mic in Seoul. The man is a legend. Full episode coming soon 🤝

Met @CryptoHayes at KBW today. I started on BitMEX in 2018 while working construction here in Korea. Whole salary went in every month and the wicks took all of it. Eight years later I'm back in Korea shaking his hand at a conf. Arthur is a legend. Respect 🤝

NOBODY tells you the real reason people move to Dubai. It’s not the taxes. Everyone leads with the taxes because it’s the easy answer. The real reason is quieter and harder to admit. It’s that for the first time in your life, the country is on your side. You spend 30 years in the West being treated like a suspect. Your bank watches you. Your government taxes you and resents you for earning it. The news tells you that wanting to be successful makes you the problem. Then you land here and something flips. The bank wants your business. The government wants you to build. Nobody looks at your wealth like you stole it. Nobody makes you apologize for working hard. You don’t realize how heavy that weight was until somebody takes it off your back. That’s the part the haters will never understand. They think people move here to dodge a tax bill. People actually move here to stop feeling like a criminal for doing well. 🇦🇪
