The World gets tokenized
One of the most exciting applications which can be done via blockchain technology is tokenization. This new technology allows the storage of value and as a result, one can bring any form of an asset on the blockchain. Tangible assets such as gold, properties or luxury goods and intangible assets such as patents, copyrights or any form of contracts can be managed, traded or even used as collateral. Along with this possibility comes as well a shift in how business models are done and how they have to be structured to serve the idea of decentralization distribution and tokenization.

"Astra inclinant, non necessitant"
(The stars incline, they don't determine)
Welcome, LinkedIn visitor!
I'm a programmer turned to the dark side (I went to law school and became a lawyer). Then turned entrepreneur and investor.
I had a chance to work and travel in 54 countries, working with startups of every kind: from telecom to online banking and energy trading, to very traditional business such as solar panels (China), steel (India), motorbike (Thailand), and many more.
AN UNUSUAL JOURNEY
I'm employee no. 8 of Wind, a telecom startup company sold for €12.1 billion ($15.6B). In this company, I've learned that launching a startup is exciting and that I'm very good at it. I've also learned that I can be a very bad and unhappy employee when the startup grows into a traditional company. This was confirmed by my following experience. Lesson learned, thanks!
I spent 2005-2009 as a digital nomad, helping companies to expand to Europe.
From 2011, I mentor and invest time and money into startups, mostly early stage. I am a Fintech and ICO advisor and investor, and I enjoy public speaking, writing, and teaching. I am building Startuphome a co-living for young entrepreneurs. See you there!
