Markets, Bitcoin & Tokenization Evening
In honor of my birthday, it is my pleasure to invite you to an evening of futuristic and inspiring conversations on the state of financial markets and tokenization. Flowing with champagne and non-alcoholic cocktails, this is the first Year of a 50-year experiment.
When: Friday, May 29, 2026 · 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Where: Founder Cafe, AngelList HQ, San Francisco
Who: 40 people, 100% curated friends, founders, investors, and TradFi veterans.
Format: Champagne arrivals, a 20-min fireside chat with Ralph Goldsticker (CIO, Alan Biller & Associates, advising ~$170B), followed by 45 minutes of led discussion, then open networking
There is no better way to celebrate my birthday than a curated gathering of forward-thinking friends, elite founders, investors, tradfi veterans and experts who busy themselves with contributing towards a better future of human financial prosperity. As we say in the bitcoin community, “Fix the money, fix the world”.
🎙️ Led-Discussion Theme
Every generation, the infrastructure for capital markets are reinvented (paper stock certificates to electronic settlement and global trading networks).
In this conversation, TradFi veterans will share first hand stories from past market migrations: what changed, what failed, and what endured. From there, we’ll explore the next transition unfolding now: Bitcoin, tokenization, and the possibility of a fully onchain financial system.
We will also get to discuss the industry report, recently published by Pantera capital on the State of Tokenization.
Gideon Nweze is a first-principles, Bitcoin-focused founder on a mission to accelerate the migration of capital markets to Bitcoin rails —> opening access to the long tail of investors (the 99%) who TradFi has systematically locked out of the highest-yielding financial instruments.
His thesis: the migration of global wealth to the blockchain is inevitable. It will correct deep market inefficiencies, and could plausibly grow the $400T global asset market by 100x over the next 5 decades. Gideon is the founder of DIBA. Backed by Tim Draper, Bill Tai, among others.
