I know we all tend to focus on metrics like TVL as milestones, but the thing that I am most proud of at @BluejayFinance is building our amazing team. They are the reason why I am excited everyday to wake up and grow this company with them. Here are a few things I'm grateful for:

A journey of billions in market cap starts with a single mint. Today, we launched our first stablecoin $bluSGD. We couldn't be more excited about everything that we're going to be building to create a stablecoin economy that connects on-chain liquidity with real world needs.

We are now LIVE with $bluSGD - as we carry on building the future of non-USD #stablecoins . With a great discount on $SGD/$DAI LP Bonds - it's a great time to get your hands on some $BLU. Not sure how? We've got you covered with a handy guide.

I heard recently that there were some comments about me playing poker "recklessly" while being a founder and I want to address a few points: 1/ I do not play poker recklessly. I have a bankroll that I manage and will never play at stakes that I can't afford to lose

I often get asked why I decided to leave the US (where I'm from) and Silicon Valley (where I started working) to build in Singapore. Where the opposite is often true where ppl outside of the US move there for the American dream of working in SF or NYC. This is my story...

In order for our DeFi as an industry to move forward, it needs to find new customers, capital and economic value-generating activities. I.e., pursuit of "real GDP" of DeFi outside of over-leveraged and speculative trading.

So many times when I explain that stablecoins can be used for FX/remittances, ppl say "just use Transferwise." But if you look at a $7.5K USD to SGD swap: - Transferwise: 1.5% - UniV3: 0.08% So which do you choose anon?

It's been a bit of a crazy and tough 72 hours in the crypto world. Sharing a few of my thoughts here: 1. I think now is a more important time than ever to ignore the numbers and empathize with each other as humans. Lots of people have lost a lot, and now is not the time to gloat

4/ What someone does in their free time is their own business. Some founders enjoy risk-taking activities like skydiving, but that doesn't mean they're going to throw all fiscal discipline out the window for their company. It's called a recreation and escape for a reason.

Unpopular opinion: "Build and they will come" mentality is a reason why a lot of products will not scale. Ideas don't take off b/c of the ideas alone. Ideas take off b/c the founders hustled to create the conditions, the end-to-end ecosystems, to MAKE those ideas happen.

People think working in crypto means capitalizing on an industry where there are incredible short-term gains. But tbh, any "x is the future" narrative takes years to fully play out, so the real winners are the ones who stick around for the long term.

One edge to have in DeFi right now is... a) understanding how real yield fundamentally works b) which opportunities for real yield can be sustainably higher and more attractive than what you get in tradfi (beat 3-4% risk free rates) c) and how to bring them on-chain

Alpha is when you look where no one else is looking, invest where no one else is investing, to pick the right player & get outsized returns. Beta is when you FOMO into the trends and get at best the returns from being in the market & at worst losses from speculative groupthink.
