Ben Brauser’s professional career began in the legal field as an attorney specializing in corporate law. Subsequently, he joined his family office to work as in-house counsel. In that role he began investing in the stock market and various private and public ventures, particularly focused on technology. However, his true passion was ignited when he stumbled upon the world of Web3 and NFTs. He quickly realized how revolutionary and life changing crypto and NFTs are and will become. Communities are a big part of NFTs, and through one of those, he was fortunate to meet Csaw. The minute Csaw shared the idea of Crypto Moments and the opportunity to build it with him he didn’t hesitate, and the rest is history.
Being in the crypto space for over a decade,
Csaw has been at the forefront of the adoption wave. In the early days, Csaw built brokerages, set up Bitcoin ATMs around the world, and ran a bitcoin exchange. Pivoting from bitcoin, Csaw then took a step back and began passionately trading and experimenting with all the newest techs and trends - from participating in the ICO craze, DeFi summer, Tomb Fork season, and eventually landing in the NFT space. Here he found his community, and once again his passion had been reignited. Csaw foresees the next ten years to be even bigger with Crypto Moments diving deep into all the space has to offer.

Luke Hadland (ROLU) likes to explore - to find wild hideouts in nature and the uncanny corners of urban sprawl - always carrying a sketchbook. He worked in Medical Science while holding the occasional exhibition and painting murals, until web3 finally allowed him to embrace art as a full-time career.
