This story is a part of Hacker Noon's . The series is intended for tech professionals contributing the most insightful Hacker Noon stories to share more about their writing habits, ideas, and professional background (and maybe a hobby or two). Meet the Writer series of interviews If you too would like to start contributing to Hacker Noon, . you can do so here So let’s start! Tell us a bit about yourself. For example, name, profession, and personal interests. I am Gimbiya Galadima, a fifth year medical student and content writer from Nigeria. Currently, I am a HackerNoon blogging fellow and I write about health, cryptocurrency and finance with the pseudonym “Juxtathinka.” I like books, music and good food. In my spare time, you are likely to catch me watching a movie or getting some zzzzs. Interesting! What was your latest Hackernoon Top story about? My latest top story was a comparison between Cardano and Ethereum.  It is based on the arguments between crypto traders and my personal opinion. Check out Juxtathinka’s story Cardano vs. Ethereum: May the Best Blockchain win Do you usually write on similar topics? If not, what do you usually write about? Yes, I took an interest in cryptocurrency and I write similar topics from time to time. Great! What is your usual writing routine like (if you have one?) I take a break after the days activities, then start writing usually in the evenings. I brainstorm for topics that readers will be interested in, then I create an outline before every word comes together. Ironically, when I am writing a story or poem(I write short stories and poems from time to time), I like to let the words flow out: then I just go with the flow. After some drafts, I do my editing before the piece comes out. Being a writer in tech can be a challenge. It’s not often our main role, but an addition to another one. What is the biggest challenge you have when it comes to writing? I think my biggest challenge is time. As a medical student, I have a full schedule and squeezing in time to write can be difficult. What is the next thing you hope to achieve in your career? I hope to become a better writer with time and establish a strong connection with my readers. Wow, that’s admirable. Now, something more casual: What is your guilty pleasure of choice? Chocolate, Nigerian jollof rice, wine and cakes: I have multiple guilty pleasures Do you have a non-tech-related hobby? If yes, what is it? Movie watching. I love watching movies, especially the classics. What can the Hacker Noon community expect to read from you next? Hmmm…More health, finance and crypto content. I want you all to enjoy these new stories. Thanks for taking time to join our “Meet the writer” series. It was a pleasure. Do you have any closing words? Thank you so much for having me. I just want to thank my readers for taking out time to read my stories. Thank you so much.

**MIAMI, Florida, July 23rd, 2024/Chainwire/--**FLOKI, the cryptocurrency ecosystem, announced today that Valhalla, a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) spin on the classic Creature-Collection adventure, will be the Associate Sponsor for India’s Tour of Sri Lanka. This partnership will give Valhalla significant visibility through mid-wicket pitch mats, ground LED boards, backdrops, and other high-visibility ground assets. Floki is the people’s cryptocurrency and the utility token of the Floki Ecosystem. FLOKI aims to become the world’s most known and used cryptocurrency, focusing on utility, philanthropy, community, and marketing. India will be touring Sri Lanka following their historic T20 World Cup championship win in the USA. The series will commence with back-to-back T20Is on July 27, followed by ODIs starting on August 1, with a two-day gap between each match. The series is expected to attract significant viewership, with estimations predicting a cumulative viewership of 180 to 220 million for both the ODI and T20I series. Sri Lanka Cricket expressed excitement about the partnership, stating it will bring more visibility and engagement to the sport. A Media Representative for FLOKI said, "It is with great enthusiasm that we at FLOKI step into a partnership to sponsor the India Tour of Sri Lanka 2024, an arena where the sport's heart beats as fervently as our dedication to being a cryptocurrency for all.” “Building on our previous associations with Cricket, FLOKI continues the belief that cricket, like FLOKI, transcends boundaries and unites people from all walks of life. Valhalla gives gamers and fans a realistic platform that they can explore alone or as a clan, partake in a dynamic, player-driven economy to rise in the community ranks, and make their mark in the competitive, animated world mirroring the opportunities cricket provides in the real world. This partnership signifies our commitment to integrating the world of gaming, cryptocurrency, and sports in a meaningful way." The series will also mark the first time both teams play under their new coaches, Gautam Gambhir for India and Sanath Jayasuriya for Sri Lanka. The Pallekele International Cricket Stadium will host the T20Is, while the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will host the ODIs. About Valhalla Valhalla is a spin on the classic Creature-Collection adventure set in a vibrant, lively, MMORPG open-world inspired by Norse mythology. Players interact with a diverse set of eccentric creatures called Veras, discovering, taming, training, and trading them. Alone or as a clan, players partake in a dynamic, player-driven economy to rise in community ranks and achieve tactical supremacy on the hexagonal-grid battlefield.

is a fun programming language created for cricket enthusiasts. If you look at the initial commit on the repository, it will show it as June 9, 2023, but the idea of building my programming language has been lingering at the back of my head since my college days. Finally, after procrastinating on building CricLang, I started working on it on Feb 17, 2024, and it is now ready for public beta release. CricLang Why the name CricLang? CricLang is an amalgamation of ‘Cricket’ and ‘GoLang’ as it is built on top of Go. It represents my love for cricket, software engineering, and the idea that code should be as simple and readable as the game. It is an evolving programming language and isn’t perfect by any means. Documentation CricLang is a dynamically typed language written in Go Data Types CricLang currently supports four types of data types , , , and as of now. Boolean values are denoted by and . int string boolean array notout out >>> 1                   # int
>>> -10                 # int
>>> "Hello World!"      # string
>>> notout              # boolean true
>>> out                 # boolean false
>>> [1, "Hello World!"] # array Declaring Variables Variables are declared using the reserved keyword . player >>> player x = 5;                       # integer variable
>>> player y = "Hello World!";          # string variable
>>> player z = notout;                  # boolean variable
>>> player a = [-5, "Hello World!", z];  # array of variables Conditionals CricLang supports statements. If the condition is declared using the reserved keyword, and else is declared using the reserved keyword. if-else appeal appealrejected >>> appeal(5 < 10) { "if condition" } appealrejected { "else condition" };
>>> appeal(notout) { "true" };
>>> appeal(!notout) { "if condition" } appealrejected { "else condition" }; Return Statements Return statements are declared using the keyword . signaldecision >>> signaldecision 10;
>>> appeal(5 < 10) { signaldecision "if condition"; } appealrejected { signaldecision "else condition"; }; Functions Functions can be declared using the reserved keyword . Functions are also bound to variables in CricLang. field >>> player x = -5;
>>> player y = 25;
>>> player z = field(x, y){ appeal(x * x == y){ signaldecision "yes"; } appealrejected {signaldecision "no";}; };
>>> z(x, y);            # output: yes Operators CricLang supports arithmetic operators ( , , , ), logical operator ( ), and comparison operators ( , , , ) out of the box. + - * / ! == < > != >>> 1 + 1                       # output: 2
>>> "Hello" + " " + "World!"    # output: "Hello World!"
>>> 1 - 1                       # output: 0
>>> 5 * -5                      # output: 25
>>> 5 / 5                       # output : 1
>>> notout == out               # output: false
>>> !out                        # output: true Built-in Functions CricLang is incomplete without its built-in functions, which are meme references. Only the OG cricket fans can spot the references to the error messages. Here is a list of all the built-in functions Thala Thala is inspired by the meme “Thala for a reason.” It takes a string or an array as input and returns the length of the string or array but with a twist. >>> thala()                             # 0 params
MISFIELD: girlfriend se raat mei baat kar lena, pehle 0 ki jagah 1 argument daal de

>>> thala(1)                            # wrong type of param
MISFIELD: girlfriend se raat mei baat kar lena, pehle sahi type ka argument toh daal de

>>> thala("Hello World")                # string as a parameter
Captain Cool: 11

>> thala("Is this sixteen?")            # string a parameter
Thala for a reason: 16 Gambhir Gambhir is inspired by the famous meme where he says some 3rd option when given two options. It takes two parameters and returns something random. >>> gambhir()                   # no arguments passed
MISFIELD: *Gautam Gambhir Stares Angrily* got=0 arguments, want=2 arguments

>> gambhir("virat", "sachin")   # 2 arguments passed
Interviewer: virat or sachin
Gautam Gambhir: baingan Kohli Kohli is inspired by one of his famous stump mic recordings. It takes [0, n] arguments and returns a fatal error with an error message. >>> kohli()                     # no arguments passed
shaam tak khelenge, inki G phatt jaayegi lekin abhi tera code phatt gaya
exit status 1

>> kohli("wrong data type")     # with an error message
shaam tak khelenge, inki G phatt jaayegi lekin abhi tera code phatt gaya wrong data type
exit status 1 Rohit Rohit is inspired by one of his after-match interviews in 2019. It takes one string argument and returns the output. >>> rohit()             # no arguments passed
MISFIELD: mera gale ka vaat lag gaya chilla chilla ke ki 1 argument chahiye! tunne 0 de diye

>>> rohit(42)           # argument with wrong data type
MISFIELD: mera gale ka vaat lag gaya chilla chilla ke ki sahi type ka argument daal de

>>> rohit("Manthan")    # 1 string argument
Reporter: Manthan ke birthday ke baare mei kuch boliye.
Rohit: Abhi birthday mei kya bola jata hai? Happy Birthday? Yahi bola jata hai. I will keep adding more fun built-in functions to CricLang and improve it overall. If you think you have some great ideas for adding a built-in function or improving CricLang, don’t shy away from sending a PR. Parting Words CricLang is my attempt at building a programming language, and it’s by no means a complete language. It has its share of flaws, and they will be improved upon over time. If you love CricLang, then don’t forget to share it on , , and . Drop a star to CricLang on . Twitter LinkedIn Peerlist GitHub Also published . here

Winter is coming...so there's no better time than now to add to your want-to-read backlog and get ready to hunker down and stay warm with a nice book. In this post, the HackerNoon staff and blogging fellows talk about some books we've been reading recently, as well as some of our favorite authors. This thread by Limarc, Mónica Freitas, Khunshan Ahmad, Gimbiya Galadima, Ashutosh Mishra, Amy Shah, Adebola and Blake Cram occurred in hackernoon's official #fellowship-central channel, and has been edited for readability. Slogging Limarc Nov 4, 2021, 10:51 AM What books are you all reading these days? Who is your favorite writer or one of your favorites? Limarc Nov 4, 2021, 10:53 AM I'll go first I'm reading which is the second installment of a literary zombie novel series by Alden Bell. It's gothic and the best zombie novel series I've ever read so far. I'm also reading as recommended to me by Utsav Jaiswal our Head of Business Development Exit Kingdom Dotcom secrets Limarc Nov 4, 2021, 10:55 AM Also to get more philosophical, my therapist recommended Staring at the Sun which is a book about death anxiety 😅 basically I wanted to learn how therapists approach the topic of mortality Limarc Nov 4, 2021, 10:56 AM As for favorite writers: Cormac McCarthy,  Nicholas Sparks, John Green (for a short time in college), Higashino Keigo Mónica Freitas Nov 4, 2021, 12:19 PM Limarc Hey! I'm currently reading . It's a fantasy book with obvious takes on colonialism, race, and a bit of magic. This year I read "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi - it's amazing and one of my favorites! It's a reflection on time and relationships (love, friendship, parenthood), and it uses time travel as a centerpiece for developing each character's story. Children of Blood and Bone 🇳🇬 1 Mónica Freitas Nov 4, 2021, 12:31 PM by José Saramago it's also a trip! Highly recommend. As for favorite authors, that's always a hard one for me. I read a lot of Leigh Bardugo and V.E. Schwab this year. If you like fantasy and adventure books, they wrote several good series like and The by Madeline Miller is one of my highlights of the year as well. In the thriller department, I love Stephen King. On the classics, Edgar Allan Poe, Eça de Queiróz, Kafka, George R.R. Martin and Markus Zusak. "Caim" "Six of Crows" "A Darker Shade of Magic." Song of Achilles Khunshan Ahmad Nov 4, 2021, 1:44 PM I am trying to improve my weaknesses i.e. negotiation. It has 4.8 ratings by 20k+ on Amazon. The book is writen by Chris Voss who used to do hostage negotiations for FBI. “Never Split the Difference.” Gimbiya Galadima Nov 4, 2021, 2:36 PM I just finished reading , a feminist narrative that tells the story of a young girl who has to deal with so many negative experiences. I enjoyed reading the piece, but it left me with so many questions at the end. I don't want to drop any spoilers, so it's a great read by Ukamaka Olisakwe, a Nigerian writer. Children of Blood and Bone is another beautiful fantasy story written by a Nigerian US based writer. <@U02ED8YNUKX> I hope you enjoy reading the story till the end. Ogadinma ✅ 3 🇳🇬 2 Mónica Freitas Nov 4, 2021, 5:07 PM I loved the first book. I'm starting the sequel now. I hope it's as good as the first one :crossed_fingers: Gimbiya Galadima Nov 4, 2021, 6:14 PM Great. I hope you enjoy reading everything 💚 1 Ashutosh Mishra Nov 4, 2021, 6:21 PM I haven't read from last few months, but want to restart in some days with any deep book on future of tech and humans, either or one of Michio Kaku's books. There are so many amazing books and writers so I don't have any favorite writer as such. My favourite writers are generally those whose books I like and read recently. Homo Deus Amy Shah Nov 4, 2021, 7:35 PM My current read is by the winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics Daniel Kahneman.  I tried listening to the audiobook of this but the actual book is better I feel. It has been slow going.  I am not even a quarter of a way through with it. This paradigm Kahneman talks about: System 1 and 2 thinking, has underscored many conversations I have had lately. I needed to get the information from the source here with this book (if I ever finish it 😉 Thinking Fast and Slow Amy Shah Nov 4, 2021, 7:39 PM Another very old book I read recently is a book called by Dr. Irene C. Kassorla.  The book is so old the pages are tan and brittle. Dr. Kassorla was a psychologist in the 1970s and she wrote the book in 1984. It's a great uplifting book about reframing thoughts to help one accomplish what they dream of. Go For It Adebola Nov 4, 2021, 8:54 PM I need to get me a copy of Ogadinma. Sounds Interesting. I tried reading Children of Blood and Bone earlier in the year but couldn't get past the fact that it was Fantasy. by Okey Ndibe was such an enjoyable read. I hate when writers do not have an ending though but I guess sometimes It's difficult to end a story. Foreign gods Gimbiya Galadima Nov 4, 2021, 11:19 PM Fantasy is different for everyone. I feel like writers write such stories because they want to leave the reader guessing. I haven't read Foreign Gods, the reviews are amazing though. Ogadinma is interesting, I hope you enjoy it. Blake Cram Nov 4, 2021, 11:59 PM I read a ton and am typically working on a couple books at once. I just finished reading by Hemingway which I really enjoyed. Even as an English major I somehow didn't make it around to reading Hemingway’s full novels, only a few short stories, so this was fun to dig into. I also just finished which is a non-fiction work by Jason Shreier talking about the struggles of video game developers and how unsustainable that workforce is— highly recommend for the gaming writers here, along with his other book which goes into how games are made. Aaaaand, now I'm just getting into Dune for the first time, because I always have to throw some sci-fi or fantasy into the mix! For Whom the Bell Tolls Press Restart Blood Sweat and Pixels 👍 1 Blake Cram Nov 5, 2021, 12:08 AM Favorite writer is a really hard one… there are so many. But, I particularly love Octavia Butler for her writing style. She doesn't waste words and uses short prose to pack a huge rhetorical punch. And I love what she did socially for the genre as a woman of color writing really bad-ass sci-fi in a very white male dominated genre. The recent landing of the Perseverance on Mars was even called the “Octavia E. Butler Landing” in her honor. She's the shit. Amy Shah Nov 5, 2021, 12:09 AM Mental note: add all these books to my list....😀 Limarc Nov 7, 2021, 8:23 AM I loved , but for some reason, haven’t been able to get into any other of “The Great Works” of American literature. I feel like it may be because some of the stories are outdated. What is a must read Hemingway book that I should try? Like for example, I tried getting into Charles Dickens but read 10 pages of A Tale of Two Cities and just dropped off. The Great Gatsby Limarc Nov 7, 2021, 8:23 AM Amy Shah “It’s a great uplifting book about reframing thoughts to help one accomplish what they dream of.” What is the TL;DR of how to reframe your thoughts to accomplish your dreams? Limarc Nov 7, 2021, 8:24 AM Khunshan Ahmad that’s super interesting. i’ll have to buy that one. How are you applying this? Is this mostly helping with like negotiating sales in your company? Amy Shah Nov 7, 2021, 4:53 PM Limarc One that strikes home for me is: Believe in Yourself. Amy Shah Nov 7, 2021, 4:53 PM Is that short enough? 😃 Khunshan Ahmad Nov 7, 2021, 6:06 PM Limarc and during hiring. 😉 Amy Shah Nov 7, 2021, 7:36 PM 2 books/stories/movies that I wish I had watched earlier in my life would be: 1. Dead Poets Society   2. Both of these I think could be life changing. The Picture of Dorian Gray. Amy Shah Nov 7, 2021, 7:37 PM While they are not my favorites, I can see in them the power to influence strongly and the potential to be positive for someone. 🔥 1 Blake Cram Nov 8, 2021, 3:36 PM Limarc I think that's totally fair. What makes it hard is that a lot of the historical context is often lost on us, so you usually have to prepare by doing a bit of research into what the authors were trying to communicate at the time. Because while the context can be outdated, the relevancy and art certainly aren't. While humanity has progressed in some important ways, we see we’re often still struggling with the same issues, so it's interesting to see how folks in different points in history dealt with them. I think we can learn a lot about ourselves that way. Older works also tend to be a lot slower for us, especially if we are into tech or modern film because we’re used to faster paces and more stimulus. But at the time, books were used as a way for people to see and understand the world, because traveling wasn't as viable and the internet didn't exist. So authors had to be a lot more descriptive of the places and characters in a different way than authors do today. So if you can get past some of those things, I think For Whom the Bell Tolls is a good Hemingway starting point to see if you're into it. It's humorous and incredibly dark at times that remind me of a Tarantino film, and Hemingway the describes the life and environment of a guerrilla faction in the mountains of Spain is similar to how Haruki Murakami can describe something mundane as beautiful and intricate.

This week's Slogging AMA guest is Ryan Bethem, a former clinical psychologist who made a big leap into the finance and tech industry. He is the Co-Founder of , a "comprehensive issuance and secondary trading digital asset solution for SMEs and financial institutions." The HackerNoon community asked him all about Chintai's position in the market and what sets them apart from their competitors. Chintai This thread by Limarc Ambalina, Justin Roberti, Jose Hernandez, John, Mónica Freitas, Ryan Bethem, Amy Shah, Nicolas Ng and Gimbiya Galadima occurred in slogging's official #amas channel, and has been edited for readability. Slogging Limarc Ambalina Oct 1, 2021, 12:08 AM Hi everyone! Please welcome our next AMA guest, the CHINTAI Team! Read their bio below and feel free to ask them anything on: Defi Defi and Compliance Their origin story The competitive Defi Landscapre Blockchain ...and more! "Chintai is a Singapore based SaaS company that uses blockchain technology to modernize capital markets for asset managers, banks and enterprise. Virtually any traditional financial asset can be tokenized with the platform, which enables a reduction of administrative overhead by 50-75% in middle and back offices. Chinai is backed by leading investment firms B1, Cryptology Asset Group, Collective Capital and Peer Ventures. The CEO, David Packham, is a 20 year financial industry veteran who worked for Goldman, Credit Suisse, HSBC, and Barclays. Additionally, the business model is geared toward establishing network effects. Any client can become their own market operator. Clients can easily customize, test and white label the technology for their own needs without upfront cost. In contrast, competing platforms burden clients with exorbitant upfront fees and friction, while insisting that clients join their marketplace." Limarc Ambalina Oct 1, 2021, 12:09 AM Hi  and Ryan Bethem thanks so much for joining us. To start, can you tell us a bit more about Chintai and who your main target market is? Limarc Ambalina Oct 1, 2021, 12:18 AM Secondly I'm interested to hear why you decided to start Chintai in such a competitive industry. Can you tell us a bit more about your origin story? Ryan Bethem Oct 1, 2021, 4:14 PM Hi Limarc Ambalina, thank you for having us! Chintai is a comprehensive blockchain solution that modernizes capital markets for asset managers, banks and enterprise. Our products enable, dynamic regulated digital asset issuance, automated compliance, reporting, data reconciliation, cap table management, corporate actions, liquidity, instant settlement & more. Ryan Bethem Oct 1, 2021, 4:27 PM Chintai began as a token utility leasing platform. We built a fully on-chain high performance order management system that transacted $250M in total volume for leasing token utility (network bandwidth). Our founding team consist of a financial industry veteran, physicist, and psychologist. But we are all brought together by a passion for changing the financial system - specifically, we want to democratize access to financial opportunity. The existing system is bloated with inefficiencies that lead to anti competitive markets, a monopolistic grip on capital markets and in general are exclusionary. Blockchain technology can solve these problems, but there hasn’t been a regulatory compliant solution that is fit for purpose. You’ve probably noticed that the blockchain industry is moving in a regulated direction. More than 2 years ago we saw this coming and made a bet on compliant blockchain solutions. We want to be at epicenter of creating a compliant bridge for traditional finance to be enhanced by the benefits that blockchain technology can offer. While many financial institutions and companies want to get involved in the blockchain space, they are trying to figure out how to do so without breaking the. law. So here we are, with what I believe is the best and most comprehensive solution on the market. Justin Roberti Oct 1, 2021, 1:42 AM Ryan Bethem Hi guys -- David was on a panel i ran recently on digital assets. I know your big focus is bridging to traditional finance and enabling tokenization and NFT minting. Two years ago, tokenization would have def been the bigger item -- but given the insane zeal around NFTs right now, what are traditional finance looking at and are NFTs as big to them as tokenizing traditional assets? Any use cases you can share since you are in your beta would be great too. Ryan Bethem Oct 4, 2021, 4:37 PM Tokenization two years ago is different from tokenization now. Two years ago there was very little being done commercially to provide a built for purpose platform that institutional finance could use. Their reputation and licenses are at risk so their main concern is a robust compliant solution. Whether or not it’s an NFT or fungible token is not as important. Regulatory maturity, tech performance and companies like Chintai make complaint tokenization possible. I think regulated issuance is not only the next wave of usage and adoption in the industry, but it will be the catalyst for capital to enter the space in space in the order of several magnitudes larger than what we’ve seen. One of the most popular commercial interests we receive however, is tokenized real estate. Many times it’s the ability to fractionalize the real estate and create efficiencies throughout the trade cycle that is most appealing. Settlement, especially in the private commercial real estate markets, is incredibly cumbersome and can often take months. We can reduce settlement time to near instantaneous. We have also received interest in creating NFTs for real estate that don’t involve fractionalization. In general, NFTs can be used for money laundering. So we believe there will be KYC/AML standards for these markets as the industry matures. Some use cases I can mention right now in our private beta include real estate products, fund management and carbon credits. Jose Hernandez Oct 1, 2021, 2:48 AM Hi  Ryan Bethem Like Limarc said, it's a competitive industry. Can you tell us what sets Chintai apart from the rest? Ryan Bethem Oct 1, 2021, 4:40 PM Chintai is comprehensive and built for compliance. Financial institutions and SMEs want to get involved in the blockchain industry, but they don’t have a compliant solution. Our compliance framework executes regulatory controls on-chain throughout the full trade life cycle. Not only does this lead to massive efficiencies in terms of administrative costs, it also produces an immutable audit trail for data integrity. Instead of having to sit on the sidelines, our clients can start to get experiment and deploy assets on blockchain. Which leads me to the next primary differentiator - Chintai is comprehensive. When we observed the competitive landscape in early 2019, we found that the process of issuing, trading and generally managing regulated digital assets was extremely cumbersome. There’s segregated services providers for primary, secondary, cap table management, custody, compliance and other core functions. To begin testing you would need to bring together multiple companies, integrate them and ultimately absorb a lot of up front costs. We decided to solve this problem with the aim of creating a “shopify” type model. Our portal is built to allow full and free access to testing regulated issuance, secondary trading, custody, cap table management and of course compliance. John Oct 1, 2021, 2:53 AM Hi  Ryan Bethem how did you decide to offer your company's services for enterprises rather than the retail market? Or do you also work with retail investor clients? Ryan Bethem Oct 1, 2021, 4:51 PM Someone had to build proper infrastructure for regulated digital asset issuance and trading to exist in the first place. Without that foundation retail participation could not happen. The cumbersome nature of middle/back office reconciliation and administrative overhead has led to so much inefficiency that larger institutions haven’t been incentivized to offer their services to smaller retail investors. It’s just too expensive. Hence the exclusionary nature of the current system. Chintai technology removes that systemic inefficiency, and will essentially remove millions of white collar jobs. Downstream, this means the trade lifecycle can become efficient enough that it makes sense to tap the large pool of retail investors that don’t currently have access. Furthermore, it’s on our roadmap to operate our own regulated digital asset exchange. We are currently in the later stages of pursuing MAS licensing for regulated issuance and secondary trading. There’s a huge opportunity for retail investor pools and defi to interact with regulated markets in ways that haven’t occurred before. Our goal is to bring them all together. Mónica Freitas Oct 1, 2021, 9:13 AM Hi  Ryan Bethem Happy you're here! I'm curious about your multidisciplinary team. How did you bring a team of people from such different backgrounds academically to collaborate on Chintai? How do finance and technology cross with physics and clinical psychology? And how has that been an advantage as opposed to a "traditional financial" team? 💚 1 Ryan Bethem Oct 1, 2021, 7:18 PM Happy to be here! Thanks for having us. We all share a similar drive and passion to democratize access to financial opportunity. But I give a lot of credit to David, our CEO. He has 20 years experience in finance and could have selected people with similar backgrounds. But instead he emphasized company culture, philosophy and diversity of experience. We share a common understanding that we will succeed or fail based on maintaining a strong company culture. We are aggressive about protecting our culture and have a long hiring process to filter out candidates that aren’t a good cultural fit. One toxic person can bring the entire team down. And then when it comes to diversity of perspective, I love how our complimentary academic and career backgrounds have interacted to lead us to where we are today. We cross finance, business, physics, software engineering and psychology. Our business is in many ways based on expertise in finance and technology. This allows us to identify the problems we are addressing and develop solutions. But ultimately businesses are run by people, the visions they have and the relationships they build to create a network that allows them to thrive. The heart of a company is organic and I think that’s where psychology and operations comes into play. The company is only going to operate well with personalities and skill sets that can interact harmoniously to produce success. When it comes to advantages, I think we tend to be less restricted in our thinking. David is already a very creative person in general and values resisting dogmatic thinking, but Phil and myself came into this with fresh eyes and as outsiders. As cliche as it might sound, I think there’s a lot of truth to the idea that when you are embedded in a culture or way of thinking, it's harder to see things from different angles and you can become blinded. Phil and I aren’t restricted in that sense. You can see some of that influence in our business model and approach. We are pretty unique in the competitive landscape. Limarc Ambalina Oct 2, 2021, 2:15 AM Very interesting Ryan Bethem thanks for your well-thought-out responses!!! Amy Shah Oct 2, 2021, 2:15 AM Ryan Bethem What aspect of your business has been the most challenging for you on a personal level? Ryan Bethem Oct 2, 2021, 5:22 PM Entrepreneurial endurance and finding my footing in an industry I was not academically trained in. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t intimidating to make a leap from clinical psychology to tech and finance. It still is intimidating after three years. But the more I learned about business, the more I’ve come to understand that relationships drive business, whether it's internal, cultural or the network you build. Beyond that, I’ve made a point to embrace the learning process. I’m very grateful to be doing what I’m doing and have an incredible team to grow and learn with. Sometimes I have to pinch myself. What I mean by entrepreneurial endurance is the motivation, drive and belief it takes to make it through the difficulties that are inherent with starting a company. We built this company through a bear cycle. People have come and go. There have been some dark times.  We’ve gone through periods where we didn’t know if we would make it. But this team did everything we could, whether working insane hours or taking severe pay cuts, or no pay at all, to make it to where we are now. I have a lot of respect for the people who start and run businesses around the world. And I’m thankful for the resilience in the co-founders of this team. We’ve all picked one another up along the way and kept going despite the hurdles. Limarc Ambalina Oct 2, 2021, 2:16 AM You said “You’ve probably noticed that the blockchain industry is moving in a regulated direction.” With more countries officially accepting crypto as legal tender, it sure seems that way. However, do you feel that regulation is inherently contrary to decentralization? If so, what problems do you foresee to arise as more governments attempt to regulate blockchain and crypto? Ryan Bethem Oct 2, 2021, 5:58 PM Decentralization is on a spectrum. I think a trap in the industry in general is a tendency to champion one version of decentralization over others, as if there’s a “right or wrong”. The conversation can become very religious and myopic. The industry began with a sentiment that goes something like “we’re going to build a parallel system that will become the dominant system and supersede the old one”. I see the source of anger, resentment and skepticism that led to this and completely understand. However, I think the greater opportunity and more likely path forward is changing the system from My personal view is that you need various levels of decentralization depending on the use case. And if we want to have the benefits of decentralized infrastructure to be adopted on a global scale, there needs to be adherence to regulatory controls and being a part of developing frameworks that benefit everyone. So I don’t think regulation is contrary to decentralization, but it is another form when compared to a pure anarcho- capitalist type of approach for example. The benefits of applying regulation are that addressable market now becomes the entire global financial system rather than a very small subset of mostly retail investors in defi. That will create financial opportunity that wasn’t accessible to the majority of people on the planet. You can also afford protections to users, like account recovery and recourse with hacks. There’s also the ability to prevent money laundering and financial crimes. But some of the potential pitfalls I worry about have to do with data privacy and control. There is a dystopian outcome in which governments could align to control every movement of money globally and use that information or power in abusive ways. That already exists but it could be worse. Furthermore, the  tension between the people and controlling entities has been a part of the history of human beings for thousands of years. I don’t think this would be something new, but rather, just another iteration of the same story. With more countries officially accepting crypto as legal tender, it sure seems that way. However, do you feel that regulation is inherently contrary to decentralization? If so, what problems do you foresee to arise as more governments attempt to regulate blockchain and crypto? within. Nicolas Ng Oct 4, 2021, 2:23 PM Hello! Sorry for joining this a little late. I am curious about your experience with basing your company in Singapore. While there's plenty of financial institutions there, I imagine that there was also plenty of skepticism and regulation involved with setting up there. Did you encounter any significant pushback from regulators or companies? Ryan Bethem Oct 4, 2021, 4:22 PM We haven’t received a lot of push back. Singapore is very much focused on growing and investing in the local economy. We’ve made a point to invest there and have made local senior level hires. Our CEO will also be there on a regular basis. The MAS is very progressive as a regulator, while being considered amongst the most respected globally. Hence, it’s a great fit for us as we pursue licensing to issue and create markets for tokenized securities and other digital assets. Gimbiya Galadima Oct 4, 2021, 6:01 PM Sorry for joining this late. The responses I have read so far have been inspiring: I would like to know more about your organizations work culture. What is the best part about working at Chintai? Ryan Bethem Oct 4, 2021, 8:32 PM Our holistic approach to company culture. Even if it’s not said explicitly, usually the basis of company culture is framed as “we do “x” to achieve our company goals so we can generate revenue and succeed”. This sentiment is a part of company culture, but I think it’s limiting and potentially alienating to employees. Our approach emphasizes not only company growth, but as well. We believe by focusing on the individual and their needs, talents hopes and dreams, we can maximize mutual benefit. In practice this looks like creating path for everyone to focus on expanding their skill set, but also growing as a human being. If you think about it, most of us spend a lot of time working. In some cases even more time than with our families. So we see every opportunity when we work together as a growing opportunity. Whether that means learning how to receive criticism, or leading a team, or approaching conflict instead of avoiding it. I speak with each new employee about their goals, strengths, weaknesses and our culture in general. We identify personal goals and meet every few months to discuss whether or not goals are being met and what could be improved. If the company isn’t the right environment to improve and grow both in terms of skillset and personally, I advocate that people leave and find a more suitable opportunity. Life is too short to be doing something that doesn’t mutually benefit the company and personal growth. personal growth Limarc Ambalina Oct 11, 2021, 9:26 AM Thanks very much to Ryan Bethem from Chintai for joining us! We wish your company the best in all your endeavors.
