I put Georgia on the crypto map.

Everyone calls Michael when Bitcoin is at all-time highs. I caught him when it wasn't. We talked about something most people skip - what do you build when nobody's watching? Education, infrastructure, conviction. He builds treasury strategy in silence. I build Georgia's crypto ecosystem the same way. That conversation confirmed something I already believed: the people who move during bear markets own the next bull run.

You can read the Bitcoin whitepaper a hundred times. Or you can sit across from someone whose work is cited in it and ask him directly. Adam doesn't do small talk - within two minutes we were three layers deep into protocol economics and where the next decade of Bitcoin is really heading. This is the conversation I bring back to every client who asks me "but is Bitcoin actually sound?" Yes. I've heard it from the source.

Some meetings change a market. This was one of them. In 2021, I sat down with Changpeng Zhao and made the case for why Binance needed to be in Georgia. Not someday - now. The community was ready. The regulatory environment was open. The demand was real. Within a couple of months, Binance started entering the Georgian market. I don't take credit for their decision - that's a company with its own strategy. But I'll take credit for making sure Georgia was on their radar and the table was set when they arrived.

Charles built Cardano with a thesis that most of crypto ignores: the biggest opportunity isn't in Silicon Valley, it's in the countries still writing their financial rules. Georgia is one of those countries. We talked about what it actually means to build blockchain infrastructure where the regulatory slate is still fresh and the hunger for innovation is real. I left that conversation more convinced than ever - Georgia isn't behind. It's early. And early is exactly where you want to be.

This was 2021. Most of crypto was still arguing about dog coins. Meanwhile, I was in Paris on a panel with Michael Davar, partner at Squire Patton Boggs, talking about what was actually coming - regulation, compliance frameworks, and how countries that prepare early win the next decade. We mapped out what was happening in the US and the UK and what it would mean for markets like Georgia. Three years later, everything we discussed in that room became headline news. The people who were in this conversation had a three-year head start.

This is the moment I stood in front of an international audience and made the case for Georgia. Not the tourist pitch - the real one. Tax advantages, regulatory openness, a hungry community of 50,000 people ready to adopt. I was there as Crypto Bazari's representative, and I walked out with a deal to bring Bybit into the Georgian market. Some people go to conferences to collect badges. I go to close chapters.

Not every important conversation happens on stage. This one was in a room with Cryptal's CEO, government officials, and private sector leaders - discussing something bigger than any single company. How does Georgia position itself as a country? What's the development plan? What regulatory environment actually attracts builders instead of scaring them away? These are the rooms where the real architecture of a country's crypto future gets drawn. I make sure Georgia's blueprint has the right lines in it.
