But First, Principles!

🎮 Own the Game—Literally.

Omar built his indie gaming dream from engineering grit and Airbnb cash flow, ditching the 9–5 to travel the world and reinvent what digital ownership means—for both gamers and global citizens.

🔗 Blockchain over AI? Omar Thinks So.

While everyone’s chasing artificial intelligence, Omar’s betting on blockchain as the next cultural revolution—restoring trust, authenticity, and true ownership in a world drowning in synthetic content.
