BIO
Passionate early Bitcoin-er and developer. Left ETH Zurich mid-way through my MSc to build Lastbit/Striga. Working with bitcoin and playing a European tour with a German band, evidently illustrated the horrors of only legally having access to an Indian bank account but attempting to use multiple currencies on a daily basis, whilst bitcoin was promised to solve this problem. Striga solves this and enables businesses to solve this. In my "free" time - semi-pro drummer & full time metalhead
