Hi there, I’m Michel.

I like asking questions about cryptocurrencies, digital assets, blockchains, and distributed systems. Indeed so much that I’ve somehow made a career out of it after falling down the proverbial rabbit hole in early 2014. I’m also into economics, banking, finance, and monetary systems, which I see as highly complementary to the above.

I have an academic background in economics (BSc) and business (MSc), conduct studies on the digital asset ecosystem at a research institute (CCAF) based at the University of Cambridge, and run a small consulting firm (Paradigma) that provides advisory services to companies and institutions.

While it may be difficult to believe for those who follow my occasional rants on Twitter, there’s other things besides “crypto” in my life as well!

For instance, I enjoy discussing economics, philosophy, and history over a good glass of red wine and a delicious cheese platter. To get a break from constant connectivity, I like reading older books and going outside to get fresh air in the woods and countryside.

If you like to know more about what I do, please feel free to reach out using the contact form below. Press enquiries referring to my work at Cambridge University should be directed to Neil Jessiman.
