As great as this static site was, I've come to the realization that I do actually enjoy writing, and with X (formerly known as Twitter), though we all just collectively ignore the rebranding and still call it Twitter, I've moved over to my blog Byzantine. The first article is already live, it's called How One Company Decides If You Can Run a Business, it chronicles how my first startup was a "failure" (it ended up being acquired prior to launch, but all the factors that played into that.)

Hope to see you there!

Head over to the new blog now

The First Entry of Few

For a long time I've been wanting to setup a small blog of my own to share thoughts on personal interests and as well as the Discreet project.

It will mostly focus on finance, the current system of money remittance, and the monopolies that dominate and set the rules for how we're allowed to transact with each other. An example of an unpublished, half-finished blog entry was posted to my Twitter and can be found here.

In short: this is the one rule that will bar you from using any bank globally as an acquiring bank, offshore or not, and it can be applied arbitrarily, even if your business is completely lawful. From one day to another, if you sell a completely legal service or product, and the political climate around that product or service changes, you could end up on the terminated merchant file. It’s unfair, it’s unjust, but it is unfortunately the reality we live in, and it’s poorly understood by aspiring business owners.
Excerpt from "Banking Post"

Finally I want to make my PGP key public to periodically post updates that I am still alive, involved with the projects I am working on, and serve as a warrant canary if any agencies were to contact me, or anyone related to the new financial privacy tools we're building.
