“Generally agree with his takes.”There was talk however that he's launching a blockchain. I didn't do research on this...but that's not a great pivot imo. We don't need more blockchains. We need the current blockchains to get better.

“Sharp thinker building crypto infra with a clear market-first vision.”Santiago R Santos is a founder focused on solving crypto’s go-to-market problem. He avoids technical hype and instead targets user experience and adoption. His posts are concise, idea-driven, and often challenge mainstream narratives. He blends crypto with real-world use cases, like prepaid mobile, showing practical insight. He’s early, opinionated, and mission-driven.

“SHARP MINDS”Santiago is one of the sharp minds i keep an eye on in this space, fr. As the founder of Inversion, he steps up daily with thoughtful and great perspectives around markets and investment. Though, he did warn that his thoughts aren't investment advice but i found them helpful, always.

“OG of the game”Santiago is a very smart user who invests their time and money into a well-thought-out thesis. Incredible posts and takes day in and day out. He doesnt stop building, definitely the kind of user that we need

“Strategic Builder”Santiago R. Santos is one of those rare people who really gets both traditional business and crypto. What I like most is that he’s not just throwing money at projects—he’s building, buying companies, and actually thinking about how blockchain can make them better. You can tell he’s been around the block, from J.P. Morgan to ParaFi Capital, and he drops insights that feel grounded, not just hype. I’ve been following some of his threads and posts for a while, and what really hits me is how he breaks down complex ideas so they feel natural. One post might have a chart, the next a real-world example of how crypto can change a business process, and it all makes sense. He thinks ahead, but without the ego, and it’s clear he’s genuinely curious about what works and what doesn’t. Following him feels like having a smart friend in the space who points out things you’d miss otherwise. He mixes strategy, real examples, and a bit of humor, which makes his content actually enjoyable to read. Honestly, it’s the kind of perspective that makes you rethink simple assumptions and inspires you to pay closer attention to trends. Two words to describe him: Insightful Builder

“Founder and Investor”Santiago Roel Santos has been around crypto long enough to see what really works and what doesn't. He backed projects like Aave, NEAR and LayerZero early, and his takes on DeFi and Web3 always feel one step ahead. I have seen a few his talks and I like how he explains things without overcomplicating - big ideas, but easy to follow.

“Dedicated”What stands out most about him is his dedication. He approaches tasks with full focus, responsibility, and determination, never cutting corners but always striving for the best outcome. His reliability is second to none you can trust him with even the most challenging responsibilities and know they will be handled with care and excellence.

“Why Santiago R Santos Always Feels Ahead of the Curve”Santiago R Santos has a knack for cutting through the noise in crypto. Instead of hyping tech, he zeroes in on adoption, UX, and real world use cases. He spotted the AI x crypto wave back in 2022, long before most noticed. With experience from J.P. Morgan to ParaFi and now his own funds, he’s backed 70+ projects. On the Empire podcast, his sharp questions and thoughtful takes always spark conversations that leave you thinking long after.

“Santiago smart investor”He started in TradFi at J.P. Morgan, moved into VC at Sageview, then became a partner at ParaFi Capital (one of the OG DeFi funds), and now he’s running his own funds like Inversion, EON, and Roca - backing 70+ projects, some of which ended up on Binance. He talks adoption, UX, and solving the actual go-to market problem in crypto. You’ll see him tweet about things like making onboarding smoother. He's also a fantasy top hero btw

“cool guy”I've been subscribed to him for a long time, he has grandiose goals and wants to revolutionize the crypto world, I don't know how he will do it yet but I think he will give his best efforts

“InversionCap is here to bring a major difference”The biggest challenge in todays setup is bringing traditional companies in Web 3.0 space. InvestionCap is just trying to do the needful i.e. transforming traditional businesses using blockchain rails. Along with that Santos have been providing non-investing advice since long time. Regular and timely updates and possible opportunities are shared. He is a must follow for anyone in the crypto space. His followers seems genuine and good amount of interactions too. Hope there are more such people in the industry who help others to achieve new heights.
