Small things can have big consequences. A few weeks ago, I was suddenly a very rich man, only to lose everything in half an hour. I lost over €43 million, and even though I realize the money was never really there, it still hurts. It got me thinking about crypto and how this could have happened. Could I, or should I, really trust these digital currencies? Who is managing all this value anyway?

Big questions, and the answers were not easy to find. I investigated further and decided to test it myself: I’m going to create my own crypto!
