As a blockchain quant analyst raised in Chicago’s dual worlds of algorithms and alleyway jazz, I’ve seen how technology becomes liberation—not just code, but culture. GM Vietnam 2025 isn’t another conference; it’s the moment Vietnam claims its digital sovereignty.

I didn’t come for the tech—I came for the people building it.
