Hawaiʻi.

ʻOhana means nobody is left behind or forgotten.
Aloha isn't a greeting — it's the operating system.

Born in Hawaiʻi · living in Chiang Mai · guitar & ukulele · the bard of hackathons

A taxi taught me how web3 should talk.

Short honks. No ego. Everyone gets through.

At 2 am with hackers I wrote "Bangalore Beep Beep" — a wallet anthem on a ukulele in a kitchen, a chant born in a hallway, a jam that didn't end.

India taught me: hackathons are concerts. Three years later — same streets, same language — we're back with the whole ʻohana.

Music was the first open source.

Is music free today? No.

Public domain in India = life + 60 years, for composer and lyricist. Almost no Hindi film classic is free yet. We learned this ten days before Devcon, and we said yes the same hour.

Own voices. Own beats.

Every artist sends a one-line setlist declaration. The open circle is originals and traditional only. This isn't a limit — it's the whole point.

The internet captured the scene and routed it through platforms.

• Artists get reach without power.
• Curators create value without ownership.
• Communities build culture inside systems designed to extract from them.

The best parts of music culture were always decentralized: scenes, pirate radio, DIY venues, group chats, a record passed hand to hand because someone you trust said it mattered.

I cried listening to my own voice hug me.

Three anthems in one week.

Read, not sung. The melody is for the circle to find on the floor.

Recorded the way we'd want to be recorded.

1. The notetakers enter the room first — the bot was our first guest.
2. Consent is asked out loud at the top, on the recording itself.
3. The human host hits record last.
4. Nothing is cut. Nothing goes out until everyone has said yes.
5. The transcript is checked before it's public — names right, nothing private.

Highest security we've got: it's all in the open.

Backstage rehearsal.

Ethereum is the radio.

"A tiny live radio that broadcasts audio and video through pending Ethereum transactions. Listening needs no wallet."
— patio.fm, born at ETHDenver

• Shared infrastructure without a single owner.
• Payments without unnecessary middlemen.
• Public memory that doesn't live in one company's database.
• A name you own, not rent.

Alaska × Subcult: federated community radio any scene can run. The circle on the floor, broadcast on-chain.

Free as in freedom.
Fairly paid as in home.

Culture is not a side quest for Ethereum. It's one of the clearest places to prove this stuff matters in ordinary human life.
