“Visionary Builder”Personally I don't know Santiago; but from his profile x, you could tell what kind of person he is. .. Taking a bet against the odds and trying to tackle the most important sector a nation would need. . I would suggest to keep a tap on his profile.

“OG Punk”Santiago Roel Santos is a true OG in the world of crypto. He has been shaping DeFi and Web3 for years, starting with J.P. Morgan and then moving on to ParaFi and now backing more than 70 projects with his own money. One of those rare investors who has really changed the game

“A Builder with Vision”What I like about Santiago is that he doesn’t just talk crypto, he talks about building. He’s not chasing the next consensus tweak, he’s looking at the bigger picture: how to take crypto from speculation to real economic value. That kind of clarity and long-term focus is rare in this space, and it’s why I keep following him.

“Cool Crypto Investor”Santiago Roel Santos is one of the most influential investors in crypto, especially across DeFi and Web3. He started out in traditional finance (J.P. Morgan + Sageview Capital), then became a partner at ParaFi Capital, one of the top DeFi-focused funds.

“visionary voice in crypto”I've known him Santiago since long a go as an active early stage crypto investor and he's been supporting many great projects that have strong potential. Pls continue to support great projects down the road.

“Quick Take”The @santiagoroel account seems to belong to someone who really knows their stuff about cryptocurrencies and investments. The posts are interesting but geared more toward people already familiar with the topic—lots about DeFi, stablecoins, and the market. The writing is clear, though some terms might feel complex for beginners. You can tell the author actively shares insights and tries to explain how the crypto industry works. If you’re into blockchain investments, this account is worth checking out, but newcomers might find it a bit hard to dive into right away.

“Why Santiago Makes the Empire Podcast a Must-Listen”I’ve been tuning in to Empire for a while now, and Santiago is always a highlight. He brings sharp ideas, mixes in real-world experience, and isn’t afraid to dig into the details. As a host, he asks the kind of questions that make guests open up and share things you don’t hear anywhere else. Every episode leaves me with something new to think about — and I’m always ready for the next one.

“REALLY THOUGHTFUL AND HOSTS GREAT SPACES”Santiago’s one of those rare voices in crypto who can make even the most complex topics feel effortless to follow. He’s got a knack for distilling all the noise down to what actually matters, while still connecting it to the bigger picture. Whether it’s market trends, tech shifts, or long-term strategy, his takes always feel grounded yet forward-thinking. Every time I read his posts, I leave with a clearer perspective and usually a few new ideas to chew on.

“Needs to earn trust Score seems inflated for the level of contribution and presence in the ecosystem. Needs to show more”

“Cây đại thụ DeFi”Santiago đầu tư vào đủ thứ từ NFT, AI đến DeFi như kiểu người chơi hệ “thích là nhích”, nhưng mỗi lần chia sẻ lại luôn có chiều sâu, không bao giờ nhạt. Có lần tôi đọc tweet của ổng kiểu: "Don't sleep on AI x crypto." Nghe quen không? Vấn đề là... ổng nói vậy từ hồi 2022, khi phần lớn chúng ta còn đang cắm đầu chơi GameFi và đu đỉnh token PET. Vision hơi bị xa.

His insights frequently delve into the practical business impact of crypto. What makes Santiago so commendable is his strategic and deeply philosophical approach to crypto. He doesn't just see crypto as a technological advancement but as a groundbreaking discovery.
