Cryptocurrency
In late 2018, a sportsbook offered 5-7 day payout for wire transfers or 24-hour payout in Bitcoin. Having heard of Bitcoin but skeptical of its legitimacy, he chose to be paid in Bitcoin and was fascinated that a currency not controlled by the government had actual real-world value. Soon after, while researching more on Bitcoin, he came across the Ethereum Blockchain and was even more fascinated by Ethereum's early innovation such as Smart Contracts, Tokenization, DAOs, and Decentralized Finance. He spent much of the next year investing in tokens and learning about things such as Smart Contracts on Ethereum and watching closely as DeFi and DAOs started to take hold. At the beginning of 2021, he began using the Solana Blockchain and is now mostly involved in the Solana Blockchain DeFi/NFT ecosystem.
Bullish-AF Capital

Trippy Leaf LLC
In late 2021, he founded Trippy Leaf LLC. The company sells CBD-derived products and other accessories and eventually plans to transition into the Cannabis Industry once legalized.
