My background was global macro. Every few years you get a cool trade in one region. Bitcoin felt different. In 2011 I learned about it. In 2013 I read everything, met everyone, flew to the exchanges. Light bulb moment. It was the biggest trade ever and the most asymmetric. So I pivoted the fund to crypto.
