“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently…”

Guest-speakers for BUIDL Amsterdam #1





After experiencing the financial crash in Dubai in 2008, Tey moved to The Hague, where he became a Blockchain Senior Analyst for wikistrat.com, as well as a Bitcoin miner. Despite never having lived in Syria, Tey was forced to move into a refugee camp for two years due to his Syrian roots, after his work permit expired. This ultimately became his main motivation behind solving the "paper-based identity" problem; consequently, Tey co-founded Tykn. Besides fulfilling his duties as CEO of Tykn, Tey is also active as a public speaker and educator on digital currencies and Blockchain technology. He is a Global Moderator on Bitcoin.com and established the largest two communities in cryptocurrencies in the Middle East ( Egypt and Lebanon ). Tey is a candidate for an MSc Digital Currencies at the University of Nicosia and has been issuing the biweekly newsletter for the past two years.





Eveline is a serial entrepreneur, who built a chain of beauty salons in Rotterdam as her first venture. She started her career in blockchain in 2014, working in marketing for a startup. In 2016, she took the leap and started Katalysis to democratize content publishing through blockchain technology. Eveline has a Master’s degree in Marketing from the Rotterdam School of Management at Erasmus University.





Our goal is to bring the local BUIDLer community together, with a focus on building and creating. The events consists of two fireside chats with special guests, lightning pitches (i.e. asks or offers of help), and networking.

#BUIDL Amsterdam is not for shilling token projects, not for learning the basics of ‘blockchain’ technology, and definitely not for getting investment advice.

#BUIDL Amsterdam is for sharing and learning lessons in building the decentralised future, connecting with other BUIDLers and supporters, and asking the difficult questions.
