Innovate, Elevate, and Disrupt

Tridib the blockchain evangelist, the serial entrepreneur, the disruptive tech-preneur, has had his share of experiences, but none has stood out in his mind more than the time he had spent with the King of Atooi and the Polynesian people, Dayne Aleka Gonsalves also known as Ali‘i Nui. It was in 2011 when Tridib dived headfirst into the world of crypto, that his tryst with the rights and freedoms of indigenous people began. Tridib saw an unalienable link between blockchain/cryptocurrency and how it could be used to serve a larger purpose of bringing economic and political sovereignty to indigenous people around the world, beginning with the Polynesians. To this effect, Tridib has been involved with projects in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space.

In 2008, a whitepaper by Satoshi Nakomoto (a pseudonym for an anonymous person or group of persons) about financial peer-to-peer transactions laid the foundation for an alternate system and way of doing things through blockchain technology. This also led to the establishment of cryptocurrencies and the crypto-ecosystem. More than a decade later now, blockchain and cryptocurrencies have become ubiquitous and the use cases keep expanding. There have been many pioneers of this field along the way that have changed, disrupted and leveled the playing field. One such person involved from the early days of the revolution is Tridib Nandy. Tridib Nandy who is a serial entrepreneur has been involved with Education, Aviation, Insurance and Blockchain. While on sabbatical in Hawaii in 2011, he came across Bitcoin, when he had an epiphany that this was the future of things to come. He has since embarked on the crypto journey and never looked back. As part of his foray into the field of crypto, Trid...
