Join us as we dive into the journey of Robert, a former physicist, mathematician, and Air Force veteran turned crypto pioneer. From working on military projects to embracing Bitcoin during his time in Afghanistan, Robert’s path into the world of digital assets is both fascinating and unconventional. 

In this episode, Robert shares his perspective on the dominance of the US dollar, why he believes stablecoins will play a significant role in its future, and his journey into the world of privacy-focused blockchain technology. 

We also explore his work with Horizon Labs and ZK technology, its groundbreaking implications for privacy, and how AI and crypto could intersect to reshape the industry.

Robert gives valuable insights for founders and investors on surviving the brutal cycles of the crypto market, building in accelerating ecosystems, and the importance of privacy in the digital age.
