How a Slavic girlfriend changed his approach

Mert Mumtaz, CEO and co-founder of Helius, reveals why he's betting everything on privacy, Solana infrastructure, and long-term conviction plays like Zcash and Hyperliquid.

While most crypto investors chase short-term gains, Mert operates on 3-5 year time horizons, building core infrastructure for Solana and defending privacy as crypto's most unsolved problem. 

From explaining how connectivity and reflexivity drive extreme price movements to sharing how a Slavic girlfriend changed his approach to capturing value, this conversation goes deep.
