In this eye-opening episode, Animoca Brands co-founder & chairman Yat Siu joins host Constantin Kogan to unpack his extraordinary journey - from a 15-year-old Austrian kid coding MIDI software on Atari and getting paid via mailed checks, to building one of the first ISPs in Hong Kong, dominating early mobile gaming (200M+ downloads!), and getting deplatformed overnight by Apple in 2012.Yat Siu reveals:💸 How Apple "hacked" their own App Store rules and removed hundreds of their TOP 20 games despite market leadership💸 Why centralized platforms stole our data (and how Web3 gives it back via true digital property rights)💸 The VC model is broken - corporations with trillions in cash should build ecosystems, not extract💸 Growing up behind the Iron Curtain, witnessing real communism, Tiananmen Square on TV, and the fall of the Berlin Wall💸 From professional musician (piano, flute, cello) to accidental tech pioneer via CompuServe bulletin boards💸 Investing in 600+ Web3 projects (Sandbox, Axie Infinity, OpenSea, Dapper Labs) as the "ultimate altcoin bet"💸 Why NFTs = digital culture & status symbols💸 Launching Mocaverse & Mocha Debt - reputation systems, user-paid airdrops, and the end of $900B inefficient ads💡Why Watch?Yat reveals how digital property rights are the foundation of true online freedom. From dominating Apple’s charts in 2011 to betting everything on NFTs in 2018, this is the origin story of Web3 gaming — told by the man who invested early in Axie Infinity, OpenSea, Dapper Labs, Decentraland, and built The Sandbox."If you have a government that changes the rules on you all the time, you can't build consistently. The VC model will change or die. Web3 is the antidote." — Yat Siu💡 Subscribe for more Web3 deep dives🔔 Like if you believe in digital property rights************Follow Yat Siu:🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yatsiu/?originalSubdomain=hk🔗 X: https://x.com/ysiu?lang=en************ ✉️ For any business inquiries, email me here: ck@ckogan.com ************ Listen to the full podcast here! 🎧 https://anchor.fm/constantinkogan ************Subscribe to my channel: 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/@ConstantinKogan?sub_confirmation=1************ Follow me on socials: 🌐 Website: https://ckogan.com📲 Telegram: https://t.me/constantinkogan 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/constkogan💻 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/constantin-kogan/✖️ X: https://x.com/constkogan🎙️ Podcast: https://anchor.fm/constantinkogan ************Timestamps:0:00 - Intro01:15 – Who is Yat Siu?

In this must-watch episode of Holistic Investments, host Constantin Kogan sits down with crypto veteran David J. Namdar, CEO of BNB Network Company! With over 10 years in the game, David shares his wild journey: from pitching Bitcoin to Millennium hedge fund in 2013 (and getting rejected for lacking shorts!), co-founding Galaxy Digital with Mike Novogratz during the 2017 bull run, launching the 2nd Bitcoin ETF attempt (right after the Winklevoss twins), and now leading the charge in digital asset treasuries as CEO of BNB Network Company (NASDAQ: BNC).Why BNB?

Learn how this MicroStrategy-inspired strategy (but for BNB) could 10x your exposure without direct access to Binance in the US. David predicts BNB surpassing XRP by end of 2025 – and why tokenized stocks, 24/7 markets, and AI agents will supercharge BNB Chain over Ethereum.Key Highlights:💸 David’s early days in crypto (2011!) and missed opportunities.💸 The rise of digital asset treasuries: From Bitcoin to BNB.💸 Why BNB could surpass XRP and dominate AI & robotics transactions.💸 Pro tips for CFOs and retail investors on navigating crypto volatility.💸 David’s personal philosophy: Live, Create, Have Impact (LCHI).David's mantra: Crypto is the ultimate meritocracy & non-zero sum game – grow the pie with ethics!
