Location: Taipei, Fuxing North Road, Tenren Tea House
Travel Notes Summary: Taipei, Fuxing North Road, Tenren Tea House. At noon, Brother Yujia from Hong Kong-Macquarie Group introduced me to his friend who previously worked at Optiver Futures. Optiver is the largest market maker for Taiwan Index Options (TXO). So, I chatted a lot with Michael about options and futures exchanges. The bi-weekly options were also launched with Michael's help. I also explained and exchanged ideas with Michael about the AMM model in the DeFi world. Michael is familiar with companies like Weixu and Kronos. We had a great chat, and two hours flew by. After the meal, we parted ways, and I went to Xing'an Street. I remembered my direct senior from university, Shiwei (Class of '80), whom I hadn't seen for almost three years, so I invited him to meet at a nearby Starbucks for a chat. Thanks to my senior for hosting. In the evening, there was another drinking gathering where I met many outstanding entrepreneurs. Taiwan is small—some new friends already had 30 mutual friends on Facebook as soon as we connected! :P Cheers! By Morgan @2023.10.27 night
