Odi Kosmatos

I'm an entrepreneur who's started several companies. My most successful: a software firm I co-founded in 1994, sold 23 years later, and still thriving after 32+ years. Here's a hilarious capture of the web site 30 years ago.

I've always been fascinated by technology and what's coming next. I just really enjoy speculating about the future and trying to harness tomorrow's tech to shape the world today.

I've adopted and championed a few transformative innovations, like diving into computers in 1980 to push their potential, embracing the internet in 1989 to help connect everyone, and advocating for Bitcoin in 2013 to democratize money. These days, I'm actively using and exploring AI, self-driving tech, VR, and whatever else is emerging, all to accelerate their world-altering impact.

As a tech investor, my friends like to say I've been wildly lucky.

When I'm not thinking about tech, I practice the Hung Gar style of Kung Fu.

I also love spending time outdoors. I'm the proud new owner of a tractor and enjoy a variety of powersports.

My personal philosophy is built on laissez-faire, voluntaryism, and Austrian economics. I am an ultra-solid believer in Bitcoin as the apex asset everyone should hold for their future. I think it is the only crypto asset worth holding long-term. No altcoins, ever. CBDCs are programmable control sold as cash 2.0. Hard pass.
