It was early 2017, when Oliver was nearing the end of his high school career, he discovered Ethereum. More precisely, the self-proclaimed “Technical Officer” installed his 6 GPUs on the motherboard for the purpose of mining Ethereum.
The mining rig was a modest success, but later sowed the seeds of crypto-focused trading company Proxima Capital, which Oliver co-founded in 2019. The company dedicates most of its resources and capital to a market-neutral strategy.
