SELF-TAUGHT

I never went to university. I taught myself to code as a teenager by hacking phone systems. Some people learn from professors. I learned from dial tones and error messages.

I have no university degree. I learned to code in Germany as an apprentice. The best education is building things.

I taught myself to program from a book. I built the trading systems with my own hands. In America, that's enough.

I taught myself Solidity from online tutorials while unemployed. You don't need a CS degree to change finance.

I don't have a finance degree. I taught myself about index funds and then taught a million others. The information is free — the discipline is what costs you.

I didn’t go to college. I went to the futures pit. Turns out, one of those teaches you more about risk.

Not having a degree means nobody taught me what was impossible. I just looked at the idea and asked: would I use this?

A degree tells people you can finish things. Building a company tells them more.
