Today I’m stepping into the CEO role at Messari. After conversations with Eric and the board, we agreed this is the right step for the company’s next chapter. This transition also includes a difficult decision: we’ve parted ways with many teammates who helped build Messari into what it is today. I’m incredibly grateful for their work and the impact they’ve had on the company. They’re an exceptionally talented group, and I’m eager to help connect them with teams that are hiring. Looking ahead, we’re doubling down on Messari as an AI-first company serving institutions through research and AI products. The industry and the world are changing quickly, but our mission remains the same: helping customers navigate crypto with confidence.


Korea has a housing system that makes foreigners' brains stop working. It's called 전세 (jeon-se). You give the landlord a massive deposit — like ₩200,000,000 to ₩300,000,000. Then you pay ZERO rent. Every month. For 2 years. (You still pay utilities and maintenance fees — but zero rent.) When you move out? You get the ENTIRE deposit back. "Wait. So you just... live there for free?" Basically, yes. The landlord invests your deposit and keeps the returns. "And you get ALL of it back?"
