Location: Cosecha 22 Cigar Lounge, Taipei
Travel notes: Another day with five meetings. Started with a morning meeting on the Zomma Crypto Option platform. In the afternoon, I went to Cosecha Cigar Lounge, where Clark (Jingteng), general manager of crypto quantitative trading firm QuanTrend, and Ariel invited me for a chat. Thanks to Clark for treating me to a premium Trinidad cigar paired with a peaty whisky—quite aromatic indeed. Taiwan is so small—later I found out that Clark's senior from NTU EMBA, Eric (Chen Huiming), happens to be the chief advisor at Richwell Hong Kong Fund. Then in the evening, I moved near Taipei Arena to visit Bito, one of Taiwan's top three crypto exchanges. Their new office is finally completed—nearly 500 ping, very spacious. I brought Andrew to chat with founder Titan and explore potential collaboration with DeFITs funds. Congrats to Bito on their 9th anniversary—it hasn't been an easy journey. :) Afterward, I went to Bar Pine with ContiBit CEO Andrew, Ms. T, and her photographer friend Evan. The four of us ordered nearly 20 cocktails, and with food, the bill exceeded ten thousand—thanks to Evan for treating us. Evan currently shoots promotional photos…
