Hello Biz.

You don’t know who I am but my name is Vitali Gazarov. Sergay is actually my dad’s stepsister’s first cousin’s boyfriend’s sister-in-law’s bestfriend’s son so we grew up together when we were young in St. Petersburg, Russia. Just 700km north-west of Moscow. As two young boys growing up in Russia, Sergay was always fascinated by technology. He would always talk about how to disrupt the way business was being conducted. It wasn’t until he solely wrote the code for Bitcoin that I began to believe in him. I remember one night we were talking under the stars in the forest of Siberia, he told me that he was going to revolutionize the way peer-to-peer payments could be made and how he had some sort of trustless middleman confirming transactions. I didn’t really pay that much attention because I didn’t believe such a thing could be possible. But he kept going on, he was saying how the way business is done now is corrupt, and in order to truly help connect the entire world he needed to implement some sort of smart contracts or something. How it would be able to “check” and “verify” data. Again, I didn’t really pay attention because he seemed out of his mind. But I kept asking him questions how he was going to achieve such a feat that some of the smartest people in the world haven’t been able to. He was talking in pure techy terms, I didn’t really understand but I did nod and say “oh yeah?” “uh-huh” as sort of encouragement for him to continue, but really I was brain bored. He kept talking and then all of a sudden he went quiet. I asked if he was ok. He replied, “yeah but I just figured it out. I finally understand how to do it.” Thanks Vitali.
