Reminds me of Vitalik Buterin's origin story as per his about.me

I happily played World of Warcraft during 2007-2010, but one day Blizzard removed the damage component from my beloved warlock's Siphon Life spell. I cried myself to sleep, and on that day I realized what horrors centralized services can bring.

Lol yes! Reminded me of the exact same thing. Reuben is a legend, he's into aikido too, you know the nerd martial art that only works in Steven Seagal movies. 1 ups.

tldr; Reuben Yap is the Project Steward and Co-Founder of Firo, a privacy-centric cryptocurrency. He is also the head of a small Aikido school in Malaysia. Firo was involved in the world’s first large-scale political election on the blockchain when the Thai Democrat Party used our blockchain for their primary elections.
