Beginnings in Cryptocurrency

Because of experiencing losses from a significant investment in Ethereum, he temporarily distanced himself from the crypto realm. During this period, Warwick explored the idea of creating a monetized burger review app with delivery services, but the onset of COVID-19 disrupted the project.

Motivated by his brother Kain Warwick, the founder of Synthetix protocol, Kieran received a $100,000 investment for trading just before the bull run, resulting in substantial profits.
