Travel note: Had lunch today with Charles, a junior I hadn't seen in a while. Charles still works at Taiwan's largest high-frequency trading company, whose boss was once featured in Business Next magazine, emphasizing building systems from the FPGA level up. Taiwan is such a small place—Charles knows both Tianren Ge, who comes to Zomma Protocol meetings every week, and Associate Professor Han Chuanxiang. One was his former supervisor/colleague at KGI, the other his teacher from when he studied Quantitative Finance at Tsing Hua University. Coincidentally, Charles's high-frequency trading company has recently been researching cryptocurrency options trading, so he's somewhat familiar with platforms like Deribit. Once Zomma's DeFi options trading platform Alpha Test version is live, I'll invite Charles to try it out. Life keeps moving forward, doesn't it?
