my journey to solana started with samsung on the wallet team in korea hq
our division head @itrainrhee completed a 250m acquisition of @wgraylin’s looppay for their MST (magnetic secure transmission) tech. MST used magnetic waves to stream L1 & L2 card data to the POS read head. conto nfc required. over 95% coverage from day one. when we tested the tech the cashiers thought we were hacking their terminals. worked like magic.
that tech became the basis for samsung pay.
i hopped around a lot. first marketing. then project management. and finally the USA taskforce. i did janitor work for closing deals with banks and card networks. redlining contracts, negotiating with compliance officers, and peppering the samsung research america team with security reviews.
chase. bank of america. us bank. mastercard. visa. we closed them all like dominos. just in time for the launch of the note 5 in new york.
i learned from the best deal makers. sang ahn, haley kim, and ws baek. they taught me to backchannel. beg. bully. bribe. whatever it took. i still carry those lessons with me. i owe my career (and working discipline) to them.
after the launch in manhattan i somehow got dragged into an exec closing party with jk shin and got absolutely shitfaced. i ended up in a chinese nail salon getting a foot massage and eating greasy $1 slices of cheese pizza. one of the happiest moments of my life. always chasing that high.
our 10 person team exploded to over 300 in a year. samsung pay was launched in over 15 countries. after 8 long years i decided to attend my first @hackerhouses and the rest is history.
you can’t throw a rock in korean crypto and fintech without hitting a samsung pay alum. toss, kakao, naver, payment processors, and all the banks.
fond memories! it was fun calling up the old gang together in seoul to host a few dinners with solana earlier this year. was fun seeing the two worlds collide.
i make early bets on people because i had of kind mentors who took a bet on me.
trillions.

It's always fun to see @triton_one at the top of leaderboards like this one. However, I'm proudest that we're doing this with open-source software. It proves reference implementations aren't always slow. From Triton with ❤️. Links below.

When you DM event organizers at the last minute, don’t forget to also give no email or name so that the event organizer has to figure this out as part of your request too
Breakpoint advice: make sure to book the events you want to go to on Luma in advance. Then decide the day of to go to a different event because your friends are going. Then annoy the event planners on telegram to get added last minute. Event planners love this.

This is the biggest change to Birdeye this year.
Today we put the whole company under one roof at birdeye.so:
- Peak, for institutions
- Data Service, for builders
- Terminal, for retail traders
- and Research, for anyone who wants to make sense of this market
Capital is moving on-chain, and so are assets, markets, and liquidity. That shift needs an intelligence layer that is real-time, accurate, and open to everyone from a first-time trader to a billion-dollar fund. That is what Birdeye has become.
DM me for a chat about your needs.

5 years ago, Birdeye started as one page for Solana traders.
Today it's the on-chain intelligence layer powering Internet Capital Markets — and birdeye.so is now the home for all of it:
→ Terminal for traders
→ Data for builders
→ Peak for institutions

promoting myself to solana’s head of department for agitation and propaganda
i have no authority or power to do this but who cares
in 2027 our team will produce 5-10 shows of the same caliber if not better than the @EcosystemCall. the ecosystem call itself will experience a massive overhaul.
this will be the basis for a future television network in san francisco or khazakstan

Exciting times at MagicBlock:
I joined the team at the right time. A few months ago before Andrea hired me I was working on a case study as part of the hiring process.
One part was to decide whether to stay a bit more broad with the company narrative or double down on a specific angle.
The answer was quite obvious to both of us. Being known for one clear solution comes with a lot of benefits.
On the other hand you also need to be sure about the angle you choose.
Luckily we are very confident that the new positioning of MagicBlock as the engine of Entertainment Finance is the right move.
Gamification has always been a powerful tool to educate and motivate humans. With attention spans getting shorter and shorter, we have to find engaging ways to introduce financial instruments to new audiences.
Merging finance and entertainment offers a lot of opportunities to onboard the next wave of investors.
We’re happy to provide the necessary infrastructure natively on Solana to power the next wave of consumer apps.

predict your future with one question
why is your life the way it is right now?
if you blame others you lose.
if you believe in yourself you win.
