Built by a trader who learned the hard way

Founder of 0xA1 · Crypto trader for 10+ years

Co-founded a crypto fund that managed $64M in assets. After going solo, lost millions to the same behavioral patterns he now builds AI to detect.

The story

I've been trading crypto for over a decade. In 2016, I co-founded TaaS (Token-as-a-Service) — one of the first tokenized crypto hedge funds. We raised $7.5 million in our ICO, grew the fund to $64 million in assets under management, distributed over 16.5 million USDT to token holders, and backed 35+ early-stage blockchain projects. I ran the trading desk and led the analytical department.

At that scale, with a team and institutional processes, we had systems. Risk management frameworks. Position sizing rules. Drawdown limits enforced by the fund structure itself. The systems worked because they were built into the operation — not dependent on any one person's discipline in the moment.

Then the fund closed, and I went solo.

Without the institutional guardrails, I discovered something uncomfortable: I was making the same behavioral mistakes as every other retail trader. Revenge trading after losses. Oversizing positions when I was on tilt. Re-entering trades too fast because I wanted to "get it back." I knew better — I'd managed $64M — but knowing and doing are different things when you're sitting alone at 2am watching your position go against you.

I lost $4 million to behavioral patterns I couldn't see in real time.

Not because I didn't know what I was doing. Because I couldn't see my own patterns while I was inside them. No tool existed that would analyze my trades and tell me: "You just entered a revenge trade. This pattern has cost you $12,000 this month." So I built one.

What 0xA1 actually is

0xA1 is the tool I needed when I was trading solo. It's an AI-powered crypto trading analytics platform that automatically detects behavioral patterns — revenge trading, tilt states, FOMO entries, rapid re-entry, position oversizing — and shows you the exact cost. Its AI copilot, Kibo, has full context of your trading history and answers questions like "Why did I lose money last week?" in a way that a spreadsheet or a generic journal never could.

I'm not building a portfolio tracker. I'm not building a signal service. I'm building the behavioral discipline layer that sits between a trader and their worst impulses — the thing I wished existed when I was bleeding money to patterns I couldn't see.

2016
Co-founded TaaS (Token-as-a-Service)
Built one of the first tokenized crypto hedge funds. Raised $7.5M in the ICO. Ran the trading desk and analytical department. Fund grew to $64M AUM and distributed 16.5M+ USDT to token holders.
2017
Featured in Forbes
TaaS was covered in Forbes for its innovative approach to tokenized fund management — building what was essentially a Bloomberg-like portfolio management platform for crypto, years before the industry caught up.
2018–2023
Solo trading
After the fund closed, traded independently. Discovered that without institutional guardrails, even experienced traders fall into behavioral patterns — revenge trading, tilt, FOMO. Lost $4M to patterns that could have been detected with the right tools.
2025
Built 0xA1
Started building the tool that should have existed all along: an AI-powered platform that automatically detects behavioral trading patterns and shows you the exact cost. Kibo, the AI copilot, was built to be the analytical partner every solo trader lacks.

Why this matters for you

I built 0xA1 because I lived the problem. Not as a developer who thinks trading is interesting, but as a trader who managed tens of millions and still couldn't stop himself from revenge trading when he went solo. The patterns that Kibo detects — revenge trading, tilt, FOMO, rapid re-entry — are the exact patterns that cost me $4 million.

If you trade crypto and you've ever looked at your monthly P&L and thought "I know what I'm doing, so why am I still losing?" — the answer is almost certainly behavioral. And that's exactly what 0xA1 was built to show you.
