Tey El-Rjula

Speaker

Tey's story is an unlikely one. Born in Kuwait and of Syrian descent, he was labeled “The Invisible Man”—a man without a birth certificate—at the age of 5 when his documents were destroyed during the Gulf War. He became an invisible man in the Netherlands 25 years later when he did not have the documents to apply for asylum. Tey is an early adopter of Bitcoin, pioneering the use of blockchain to break financial and identity barriers, and has founded two companies, fluus.me and Tykn. His life’s mission is to turn invisible people into invincible ones. He holds an MSc in Digital Currencies and is the author of The Invisible Son.
