Most early-stage founders don’t need a full-time CTO.
They need a co-decider who understands tech.
They need CTO-as-a-Service.
Here’s when it makes sense — and how it prevents €100K+ mistakes 🧵

COBOL isn’t killing innovation.
You just don’t understand what it is.
Not a legacy GPL — but a rock-solid DSL for business, still running the core of banks, insurance, and governments.
Mainframes aren’t dying, but evolving. And rewriting #COBOL “for innovation” is how real tech debt gets born.

I’m generally anti-regulation.
But working with regulators still beats yelling from the sidelines.
Looking back at @trrue.bsky.social's participation in the EU Blockchain Sandbox — and why more founders should do the same 🧵

Don’t pick a tech stack.
Pick your exit strategy.
The stack comes after the strategy.
But most founders do it backwards.

Why I chose Cyprus again — and what changed since 2014
Back then, I was in corporate services.
Now I’m in tech.
And yet… I still chose the same island.

No-code. AI builders. GPT-powered MVPs.
Founders have more tools than ever.
So why do most still fail?
Because tools ≠ product.
And AI can’t save you from a lack of clarity. 🧵

Cyprus is known for low taxes and great vacations.

Proof-of-Stake vs Proof-of-Work.
No, it’s not about “old vs new.”
It’s not about “green vs dirty,” either.
It’s about real trade-offs — security, governance, and long-term resilience.

If you’re treating your DAO like a startup, you're already lost.
These aren’t companies.
They’re more like nation-states.
