From architect to award-winning crypto educator.
I’m Sam, an architect and marketer from Lebanon. Crypto found me during the banking crisis, as a way to protect my savings. Today I help people across MENA understand it, use it safely, and solve problems when things go wrong.

Why I do this
I discovered crypto during Lebanon’s banking crisis. At first it was about survival: a way to protect my savings from hyperinflation when the banks froze people’s money. That experience changed the direction of my life.
In 2021 I joined the Binance Angels community program. What started as volunteering became a career: hosting webinars and weekly AMAs for the MENA community, speaking at events, and running workshops at universities including the Lebanese American University and the American University of Beirut.
In 2024 I was named Content Creator of the Year at the Binance Angel Awards. In 2025 I led the AI × Blockchain panel at German Blockchain Week, and in 2026 my letter of support to Judge Jones, about how crypto helped me through Lebanon’s banking crisis, was printed in CZ’s book, Freedom of Money (page 273).
Along the way, I saw the other side of crypto too: people losing funds to scams, wrong networks and frozen accounts, with nobody honest to turn to. That’s why, next to teaching, I now help people recover access, trace funds and secure what they own.
