If You’re Going to Think — Think Big
Small ideas don’t change the world.
They barely change your bank account.
This past week, I had the privilege of attending Bitcoin 2025 and the Tokenize! Conference in Las Vegas — hosted at none other than the Tiger Mansion, famously known from The Hangover (and once owned by Mike Tyson). Yes, it was as wild and iconic as it sounds.
For me, it was more than a conference.
It was a culture shock.
After spending the last 3 years building my company in Romania — trying to lay the groundwork for a tech hub in Eastern Europe — walking into the high-voltage energy of Las Vegas felt like I’d entered a different dimension.
But here’s the twist: it didn’t feel out of place.
It felt right.
Because for the first time in a long time, I was surrounded by people who got it. People who understood what I was building. People who weren’t just supportive — they were excited.
One investor listened to my pitch and looked me in the eye.
He asked,
“How can we make this even bigger?”
That question stopped me in my tracks.
Back home, I’m used to raised eyebrows and “Are you sure this is realistic?”
But here — someone wanted to amplify it. They wanted to grow the vision.
That’s the difference.
That’s what the American Dream is about.
It’s not just about ambition.
It’s about building without limits.
It reminded me why I started in the first place — and why it’s more important than ever to surround yourself with the people who fuel your fire instead of putting it out.
I left that mansion feeling inspired, energized, and incredibly grateful.
This wasn’t just a conference.
It was a reset.
A reminder.
A once-in-a-lifetime moment.
And honestly?
It feels like it’s just the beginning. 🚀
