You don’t fully grasp how much of your life is tracked until you’re sitting in a courtroom, watching federal prosecutors use your digital history against you, down to your most harmless Google searches. Your entire life becomes an open book, and even your most innocent actions can be twisted into something sinister.
They get to tell the most damning version of your story. To tell yours in your own words, you have to take the stand.

1) Almost a year ago I stepped back from crypto to focus on multiple personal projects. I traveled, I read, I reflected and I built. Today I am announcing the main one: @TVLCap, which I am proud to have co-founded, and a $5M raise to bring structured products onchain.
