June 2024 | I had a mind-blowing experience at BTC Prague. I ran into THE Adam freaking Back!
Dr. Adam Back is the genius behind Hashcash - that proof-of-work that became the foundation for Bitcoin's mining algorithm. This dude has been in the game since the cypherpunk days of the 90s! He's like the OG of OGs in this space. Not only did Adam's Hashcash lay the groundwork for Bitcoin mining, but the big man Satoshi himself cited it as an influence in the legendary Bitcoin whitepaper.

That’s how I celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕 on 22nd May
Bitcoin Pizza Day is celebrated to commemorates the day (22 May 2010) when Laszlo Hanyecz, a Florida based programmer, bought two Papa John’s pizzas for 10,000 BTC (a seemingly insignificant amount back then).
Why does this day matter?
- First Real-World Transaction: This was the first time Bitcoin was used to buy something in the real world, proving its value beyond just a digital concept.
- Big Ideas Start Small: That simple pizza purchase showed how small beginnings can lead to big changes. Bitcoin has come a long way, growing into a major financial force.
Bitcoin Pizza Day isn't just about remembering a quirky transaction. It’s a reminder of Bitcoin’s incredible journey and how it’s re shaping finance and challenging traditional notions of money.

Had an exhilarating morning mentoring MSVC students at National University of Singapore! The energy and enthusiasm from these aspiring entrepreneurs were truly contagious.
It's always a pleasure to step back onto campus and soak in the nostalgia. The campus buzzes with innovation and creativity, reminding me why I fell in love with the entrepreneurial spirit in the first place. Catching up with Alex Tay, Evelyn Lim and Paul Singh Gill felt like old times.
Events like these underscore the importance of giving back and nurturing the next generation of innovators.
