You Can Contribute to Making a Better World

If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world. Noam Chomsky

My goal is to leave this place in better shape than I found it by using the technologies and tools I have at hand.

Blockchains are fundamentally designed to remove intermediaries from many areas of human life and by doing so solve problems (like inequality) that exist only because of centralization of power.

Whenever you open a new tab, Wandertab shows you a stunning picture from an amazing place as well as how much it costs to go there. I created the first version of Wandertab with Gillian Morris of Hitlist at a THack hackathon.

Articles

These are articles that were published by independent websites. There is more on Medium (centralized service, I know!).
