Fun Fact about you: I constantly challenge myself by doing things that scare me. Singing loudly in the car. Discovering hidden movements and dancing during tough conversations.
When and what was your first touchpoint with DLT & Blockchain? At the Dzen Conference in Odessa in February 2022, just before the war began. I created a mind map during the event outlining the ideal interaction within the space and sent it to QMall’s founder, Mykola Udianskyi, questioning my sanity. He replied that the journey would be challenging, but I had a clear vision. This prompted me to seek out like-minded individuals, and I was fortunate to find some in a car park during the Wow Summit in Lisbon in November 2022.
What fascinates you most about DLT? I believe that as a society, we have not fully embraced the beauty of experiencing the sharing economy and decentralization in action. The social impact aspect of life could be enhanced, purified, and evolved to provide each individual with a place to live, eat, and breathe.
