Title: Starting My AI, Bitcoin & DeFi Journey
This is Day 1 of my documented journey into AI, Bitcoin, and decentralised finance.
I’m starting from a solid background in business, strategy, and investing — but I’m a beginner when it comes to using these technologies hands-on. Over the next weeks and months, I’ll be:
I’m doing this for two reasons:
I’ll share short, readable updates here once a month. If you want the detailed notes, templates, and tools, they’ll be in my private workspace — which will be available later as part of a structured pathway.
This month’s focus:

Title: My First Two Weeks in AI & Crypto
When I decided to dive back into AI, crypto, and DeFi in 2025, I was equal parts excited and daunted. On one hand, it felt like entering a brave new world where pioneers were shaping the future. On the other, the sheer complexity was intimidating.
My very first “win” a decade ago was a small one: I bought a little crypto in 2014, sold a portion of it, and suddenly had enough profit to cover Christmas that year. That rush was intoxicating — proof that this wasn’t just theory, it worked. But just as quickly, I realised: this isn’t easy money. The learning curve is steep, and few people around me in those days even understood what I was talking about. Some were deeply sceptical and not afraid to say so, loudly, in public.
Still, the “exciting” moment this time around came when I built my first interactive digital game with AI. It took me three hours during an airport layover — something that would have taken a whole team a few weeks a couple of years ago — and I had something that made those around me laugh out loud. That was the spark. This was real, AI was here, and it was already changing what I can achieve way beyond what I expected.
