About TVG

My name is Cris. I was born in Brazil, but immigrated to the US at a young age. I mostly grew up in Alabama, where I completed my studies and graduated as a veterinarian. I currently live in California and love practicing veterinary medicine.

Why did you choose to get involved in the community work of Holo, as opposed to other projects?

My journey started like many others in the crypto sphere. I made my first small investment in crypto in 2017. I rode the wave of parabolic growth in late 2017 and into the crash of 2018. Following that, I decided to get more educated as to what crypto is all about. I stumbled upon Holo and Holochain as a speculative investment just before the IGG campaign was ending. Upon joining the community and lurking in the Telegram chat, I found a community of ideological individuals who discussed the socioeconomic and environmental implications of Holochain/Holo more than the potential gains of investment. Once the conversation veered into Ceptr and the Metacurrency project, the real implications set in — I was hooked. In my view, this project, more than any other, has the potential to change the way our social, political, and economic societies work and evolve into something more sustainable and mutually beneficial.

What accomplishments, highlights, or goals would you like to share regarding the growing and expanding the community?

Accomplishments: I can’t say I have any individual accomplishments. I have enjoyed being able to contribute my personal views behind-the-scenes and the prospect of having any kind of positive impact on the outcome of this project. Helping to manage the Telegram community has its challenges, but is also rewarding.

Highlights: I’ve met some amazing people and made connections that I hope to foster for years to come.

Goals: Currently, my main goal is to find ways to explain why I’m so excited about Holochain and Holo to my friends, family, and the general layperson. I want to make them understand it the way I do. I’m working on a brief video and have purchased a domain that I hope to develop into a valuable resource for newcomers.
