What if the most valuable currency in the future isn't money, data, or even AI?

What if it's trust?

In an age of misinformation, digital fraud, deepfakes, and AI-generated content, the ability to verify what is real may become one of the most important challenges of our time.

That's exactly the mission behind BYC Ventures.

In this episode of The RJ Ledesma Podcast, I sit down with Paul Soliman, one of the country's pioneers in emerging technologies, and Gelo Wong, recently recognized in the Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 Class of 2026, for a fascinating conversation about building the infrastructure of trust in a digital world. Together, they share how they are helping governments, institutions, and enterprises verify information, improve transparency, and create systems where truth can be independently proven rather than simply assumed.

But beyond the technology, this is really a story about entrepreneurship.

Why dedicate your life to solving a problem that most people don't even realize exists?

How do you build a company around a mission that is bigger than profits?

And what does leadership look like when you're not just building a business, but helping shape the future of trust itself?

This conversation goes beyond startups, blockchain, and technology. It's about vision, impact, and the courage to tackle some of society's most difficult problems.

Because while technology will continue to evolve, trust will always remain the foundation upon which progress is built.
