Summary

I am the author of Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto, the one behind the blog and podcast The Blockchain Socialist, and a co-founder of Breadchain Cooperative. I've been working in the blockchain space since 2018 and have been producing content and research on the space for the past 4 years through a lens of wanting to use the affordances of blockchains to build more robust and democratic institutions. I have written for outlets like FWB and Outland Magazine and have been interviewed by CoinDesk, Coin Telegraph, Glenn Greenwald, and many others. I have presented at multiple academic, arts, and crypto events including Eth Barcelona, Crypto Commons Gathering, Devconnect, MoneyLab, and more.
