Interestingly, Forbes did actually interview me for their “good for nothing blockchains” piece and decided we didn’t belong.
Feels strange being excited to not be mentioned in the media! 😂
Don't just talk about it. Be about it.

You think crypto has FUD? My brother, I worked at US Treasury during the meltdown and bailout… I got so many death threats in the mail they changed our paycheck envelopes to Dept of Agriculture just so we didn’t get tracked and murdered. And you think Twitter makes me sad? 😂
Look, my brothers and sisters in HBAR, there are so so so many times I want to support or retweet one of your tweets but somewhere in it there is wild mentions of prices and rocket ship emojis all over it and market predictions with moon pictures.
Because of my position I…

Meeting the

I have to say, the

Blockchain/digital ledger technology

Imagine trying to explain a bank account to your friend, but starting the technical performance of the Fed wire system, ACH payment rails, and clearing houses with secure messaging systems.
That's how people are explaining blockchain today, and it's no wonder it sounds…
Today was a crispy one here in Davos. Even being all the way down the promenade it was amazing to look off in the distance and still see the

bat signal!
Gm and happy Friday, builders.
Tag some of your favorite
@hedera
projects that I should take a look at over the weekend!
Also, tell me about things you’d love to see next that are not currently on Hedera.
(art by me. 2019)
The meetings in Davos have been SO good. Even better has been spending time with the team to bond and find alignment. This is not an easy place to pull off great things and we’re doing just that.
This era feels exactly like when people were struggling to move to high speed internet just because they owned a dial-up modem and wanted to defend what they already had.

At the end of a wild week, I want to thank the community for hanging in there. We had some ups and downs. Some public facing things that weren't the best look, and some reconciliations that mended some fences.
One thing nobody can accuse this community of is lacking PASSION.
Some people are trying to bag build in 24hrs, I am trying to make the world's technology better over the next several decades.
We are not built the same.
Our developer tools are designed to empower you. We provide the platform; you bring the vision to life.
Hedera is more than technology; it's a vibrant community of thinkers and creators shaping the future.

Having gone through this before, I can tell you that simplifying this process would lift a huge burden off of many people at a tough time in their lives.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
"onboarding" people into nascent technology is a lifetime commitment.
In macro technology shifts, the citizenry often AGES into the technology.

I hope to see a lot of this by next Christmas. I have 100+ pages of research on this topic and why DLT + AI could be a game changer for consumers and enterprises alike.
This is a plan being carried out in transparent fashion and that transparency is something we are proud of. Please note that ensuring our decentralized ecosystem can continue supporting developers is a key component to a robust set of users and utility for a long term vision.…

There are many large retailers and big box stores already running a lot of their supply chain contracts on permissioned chains that are slow and costly. Let's make a push to get them up to date with the right technology.
The increased access and liquidity may not seem like a big deal to those of you who deal in tradfi in large regulated markets, but in developing regions and hyper growth areas this could simplify so many of the challenges being faced, not only for end users, but banks as well.
HUGE! Very excited to see

Congratulations Eric!!
It deeply fascinating how so many people want to be anonymous and use pseudonyms but also ask for complete transparency when it benefits them.
The idea of anonymity and pseudonymity has been tried digitally for almost 50 years.

Once you realize how many layers of complexity exist in music and movies, there are a ton of handy use cases to integrate trustless models and smart contract automations.
While everyone is out there trying to take on ticketing giants, I want to see someone recreate EventBrite on Hedera and put simple ticket tokenization in the hands of individuals. It’s a good way to practice improving UI/UX and getting account creation times way down.
