I will start with the most important thing first. I don't really like to talk about myself, I find it aggrandizing, and boring. I love to talk about ideas and events. My blog will be dedicated to the Cryptoverse, life, and photography. Like many, I finally leapt with both feet into the Cryptoverse just this year. Although, I have been paying attention since the Silk Road days, and for years was quite skeptical, but once I did a little more research my eyes were opened. As of late I have been honing my writing skills, and if you are reading these words I thank you for taking your time to read my blog.

As you can guess from my pen name I do not believe in traditional social systems. I think it is a catastrophic tragedy that humanity is divided into 195 nation states. This is a transitory phenomenon; nations are artificial social constructions used by the powerful to stay powerful. Nationalism is a mental illness of humankind. Tribalism and the age of empires has metastasized into a malignancy which threatens the very future of humanity. As I discuss the Cryptoverse I will try to elucidate my vision for the future. How Web3 and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) offer a glimpse of a future without the iron fist of the nation-state. Humanity is facing transnational challenges that threaten to overwhelm individual countries. Coordination between countries is abysmal while the problems fester and multiply. Authoritarianism and Fascism are on the march again, while democracies dither. The nation state system is a failure, it is high time that people come together for a different future. I know... idealistic bullshit... but if we don't at least have an ideal we can strive for then times would be dark indeed.

I have studied history, ancient and medieval in particular. I have a real passion for knowledge and understanding where we come from. Additionally, I love photography (all the pictures in this post are mine). I have been lucky enough to be able to travel the world, over 30 nations and counting, the pandemic has been a real blow to my travelling addiction, but I've been able to save some money for when this ends (if ever).

This is the most I have talked about myself outside a job interview in quite a while, so I'll leave it for now. I also write on Publish0x so if you'd like to read more about crypto check it out. Thank you again for reading my blog and I am excited to be here at PeakD, on the Hive Blockchain, punching our moon ticket together. Thank you @traciyork, @lovesniper, @ocd for the introduction, because this is all a little confusing. Until next time.
