Today, we‘ve got an interview with Georgii Verbitskii, a new trader on the platform and creator of the BTC Fund Active Trading Set, for all of you to enjoy.

Georgii’s Set is currently live on TokenSets — you can check it out here.

Hi Georgii, nice to have you. You’ve had a really finance heavy career, ranging from working in cutting edge financial technology, to fund management. Can you give us an intro of yourself and what you do?

Thank you guys for such an amazing product. I have been trading and managing assets for 13 years, and I am a big crypto and DeFi enthusiast. I believe that decentralized protocols and services like TokenSet will help to reduce costs both for funds and their clients, eliminate bureaucracy, and provide full transparency. Hope that my experience as an asset manager and fintech professional will help us all to achieve these goals.

Can you go into more detail about that Set, its strategy, and any backtesting data?

My set is nominated in BTC and the strategy aims to maximize bitcoin holdings growth while hedging against BTC downswings in bear-markets. I will execute conservative and well-weighted rebalancing strategy, rebalancing to USDC while BTC is overbought, and rebalancing back to BTC when there is a chance for a drawdown.

Out of all the fields in finance that you have worked in, what do you find most interesting or unique about cryptocurrencies?

Crypto/blockchain is the “next Internet”, and the most unique thing is that very few have realized it so far. Thus, opportunity is here.

Putin has appeared several times on the news speaking very intelligently about crypto. What is the general Russian sentiment towards crypto and how is the market there behaving?

Russia is very centralized in every possible way, so there is a little chance will see any crypto breakthrough there. Only if Putin will decide so :-)

Anything else you’d like to tell us or your potential followers?

I hope my experience will help to preserve your bitcoins holdings, and protect them against downswings and bear market. I expect to beat BTC benchmark from +10% to +40% every year. Welcome on board!
