Berlin Blockchain Week, it was a blast! My highlight was to meet with Vitalik Buterin and discuss a desired Future State and how to address real world challenges that the blockchain community can help to overcome. Why this Matters? Blockchain communities continue to stand for openness, freedom, censorship resistance and credible neutrality at a time where many geopolitical actors are increasingly only serving their own interests. This is why emerging societies are often the quickest to adopt innovations, as seen with the rapid uptake of #crypto in Ukraine, Turkey, and Nigeria. #Blockchain technology, with programmable economies, #zkproofs, #DAOs, and more has the potential to accelerate the development of communities, nations, and entire regions, accelerating mass adoption. As we move forward, it's crucial that we continue to prioritize transparency, accountability, and collaboration. By doing so, we can ensure that the benefits of this transformative technology are accessible to all communities, independent of their geographical or socioeconomic status. Interested to learn more? Have a look at these promising initiatives, who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible: FreedomTool (freedomtool.org) helps individuals to reclaim stolen votes, exemplifying the power of blockchain for transparent governance. Rarimo (rarimo.com) is a privacy first (ZK) social protocol that unlocks a new generation of social apps, allowing users to go incognito while ensuring the preservation of historical data, networks, and user identities. Belarus Network State (futurestate.wiki) is a fascinating project by exile Belarusians building a network state, showcasing the potential of blockchain to empower citizens.
