Jon Ma, the founder of the encrypted data platform Artemis, shared his cryptocurrency investment story. In 2015, he first encountered Bitcoin in a computer science course but did not take it seriously. It wasn't until the bull market of 2017 that he began purchasing BTC and Litecoin. A conversation with ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees made him realize the possibility of separating government from currency.

Despite missing the DeFi summer of 2020 and the NFT craze of 2021, Ma returned to the market in mid-2021, purchasing SOL and Solana NFTs. He also participated in Axie Infinity and established a scholarship program in the Philippines.

Ma believes that cryptocurrency has created a larger global financial system and expects traditional financial participants to significantly drive the market value of crypto assets in the future. With the involvement of large asset management institutions and payment giants, traditional finance is expected to become the main force in the global digital financial system after 2025.🌐📈
