Pan-African Father & Entrepreneur — Founder, Abilities Finance
"The people who trust you most deserve access to the same tools as the most sophisticated traders — and they deserve to be treated as partners, not customers."
In My Own Words
A Statement from Czar
I am a 59-year-old Pan-African entrepreneur, father, and active cryptocurrency trader. I built Abilities Finance because I believe the people closest to me deserve a seat at the table — not as spectators of someone else's wealth, but as genuine lenders in mine.
This is not a product I am selling. It is a private arrangement I am offering to people I know personally. You lend me capital. I trade it. When I profit, you receive 80% of that profit. Every term is written into a promissory note before any money moves. Every risk is disclosed before any conversation advances.
I am not asking you to trust a company, a fund, or a brand. I am asking you to trust me — a specific person with a name, a face, a track record, and a reputation that matters to me more than any single trade. If you do not know me personally, this arrangement is not for you. If you do, I hope this page helps you decide whether it is right for you.

The Biography
Czar J. Kijana is a lifelong entrepreneur whose work has always been rooted in community, accountability, and the conviction that shared success is the only kind worth building.
Over the course of a decades-long entrepreneurial career, Czar has built and operated ventures across multiple industries, each time bringing the same operating philosophy: be transparent about what you are doing, be honest about what can go wrong, and give the people around you a genuine stake in the outcome.
His entry into active cryptocurrency trading came through years of studying market structure, price action, and the mechanics of volatility. He does not trade on speculation or sentiment. He trades on pattern recognition, disciplined risk management, and an AI-assisted systematic approach that he has refined through multiple market cycles — including significant drawdowns that taught him as much as the profitable periods.
Abilities Finance emerged from a simple observation: the capital required to trade at meaningful scale was sitting in the hands of people who trusted him — family members, close friends, long-time associates — but who had no structured way to participate in what he was building. The promissory note structure solved that problem cleanly. It gave lenders a legal document, a defined profit share, and a clear withdrawal right. It gave Czar the capital to trade at the scale his strategy requires.
Czar is based in Sheridan, Wyoming. He operates Abilities Finance personally — there is no team, no intermediary, and no layer of management between him and the people who lend to him. That directness is intentional. It means every lender has a single point of contact, and that contact is the person making every trading decision.
He is a father. That shapes everything about how he approaches this arrangement — the insistence on honesty, the refusal to oversell, and the understanding that the people lending to him are not abstract capital sources. They are people he will see at the dinner table.
Section Three
Why I Built It This Way
The 80/20 profit split is not a marketing number. It is the result of a specific calculation: I need capital to trade at scale. The people who provide that capital take the majority of the risk. They should receive the majority of the reward. My 20% is what I need to sustain the operation. It is not what I could extract if I were optimising for my own return.
The insistence on promissory notes is not a legal precaution added reluctantly. It is how I believe business between people who trust each other should be conducted. A handshake agreement is a relationship. A signed document is a relationship plus clarity. I want both. The note protects you. It also holds me accountable in writing.
The friends-and-family boundary is not a limitation I am working around. It is the design. I am not trying to build a fund. I am trying to build a circle of people who benefit from what I do, who understand what I do, and who I am genuinely accountable to. That requires knowing them personally.
On the 80/20 Split
"I get access to more capital to trade with, which means larger position sizes and more profit overall. My 20% of a larger pool is worth far more than 100% of a small one. We both win when the pool grows. That is the design."
On Promissory Notes
"A verbal agreement is a relationship. A signed document is a relationship plus clarity. I want both. The note is not bureaucracy — it is respect. It says I take your capital seriously enough to put everything in writing."
On Keeping It Private
"I am not trying to build the largest possible pool of capital. I am trying to build the most trustworthy one. Those are different goals, and they require different boundaries."
Section Four
Operating Principles
These are the principles that govern how I trade, how I communicate, and how I make decisions when things go wrong.
Radical Transparency
You will know how the trading is performing — including losses. I do not selectively share the good months. You get the full picture, always.
Risk First
I disclose risks before I discuss returns. Anyone who enters this arrangement does so having heard the worst-case scenario stated plainly, not buried in footnotes.
Disciplined Position Sizing
I do not bet the account on a single trade. Position sizing is governed by risk management rules, not by conviction or emotion. The January 2026 operational event strengthened those controls.
Personal Accountability
I am not a corporation. I am a person you know. My name is on every note. My reputation is on the line with every trade. That is not a slogan — it is the structure of the arrangement.
AI-Assisted, Human-Decided
I use AI tools for pattern recognition and market analysis. Every trade is still a human decision. The AI improves my information. It does not replace my judgment.
No Pressure, Ever
I will never push anyone to participate. If you need more time, more information, or an independent legal review of the note, I will wait. The right lenders are the ones who enter with full clarity.
Section Five
My Commitments to Every Lender
These are not terms and conditions. They are personal commitments from me to you — stated here so you can hold me to them.
Section Six
Why I Keep This Private
The friends-and-family boundary is not a legal technicality I am working around. It is a deliberate choice about what kind of arrangement I want to run and who I want to run it with.
Trust cannot be manufactured
The accountability in this arrangement comes from the fact that you know me. If things go wrong, I cannot disappear. That accountability only works if the relationship is real before the money moves.
Fit matters more than volume
I am not trying to raise the maximum possible capital. I am trying to work with the right people — people who understand the risk, who have asked the hard questions, and who enter the arrangement with clear eyes.
Mutual knowledge changes the dynamic
When I know you personally, I communicate differently. I am more direct about bad months. I am more careful about how I manage the capital. The relationship creates accountability that a contract alone cannot.
The boundary is wisdom, not limitation
Keeping this private means I can give every lender genuine attention — direct communication, honest reporting, and a real relationship. That is not possible at scale. I am choosing depth over breadth deliberately.
"I am not trying to build the largest possible pool of capital. I am trying to build the most trustworthy one. Those are different goals, and they require different boundaries. The people in this arrangement are not customers. They are people I know, people I respect, and people I will be accountable to long after any individual trade closes."— Czar J. Kijana
Section Seven
How I Communicate With Lenders
Transparency is not a value I state — it is a practice I follow. Here is exactly what that looks like in this arrangement.
Monthly Performance Reports
Every lender receives a monthly performance update covering total trading profit or loss, profit share calculation, and any material events that occurred during the period. This is sent whether the month was good or bad.
Track Record Access
The verified trading track record is available on the Track Record page at all times. Lenders can review real trade data, not just summary statistics. Nothing is hidden or selectively presented.
Direct Communication
You have my direct contact. There is no customer service team, no ticketing system, and no delay. If you have a question or concern, you reach me directly. I respond personally.
Proactive Loss Disclosure
If a significant loss occurs, I contact lenders before they ask. I explain what happened, what the impact is on their capital, and what I am doing about it. I do not wait for the monthly report to surface bad news.
Note Review Before Signing
Before any capital is accepted, I walk through the promissory note with the lender personally — every term, every risk disclosure, every withdrawal right. I encourage independent legal review and will never rush that step.
Open Conversation Policy
There are no questions I will not answer. If you want to understand a specific trade, a risk scenario, or the mechanics of the profit calculation, ask me. I will explain it clearly and completely.
In Czar's Own Words
Questions I Have Been Asked
Real questions from real people in my circle, answered the same way I would answer them face to face.
"Why would you share 80% of the profits? What do you get out of it?"
"What happens if you lose all my money?"
"Can I really get my money back whenever I want?"
"How do I know you are actually trading and not just taking my money?"
"Is this legal?"
"Why crypto? It seems so volatile."
