Anything is possible, but not in a good way.

We need an agonizing reappraisal of our own uselessness and the causes and origins of our collective uselessness if we are to be effective helpers.

I fucked up by not working inside capitalism. Open Source Hardware as a strategy set me back by ten years or more.

Lesson learned.

You - we - could organise the human race to save itself fairly easily. We have the technology, or we are reasonably close. Plenty of matter, plenty of brains.

But our command and control systems are completely hosed. It’s like trying to build a boat during an anaphylactic shock.

Vinay Gupta has not raised $257 million in an ICO. He is not yet a Bitcoin billionaire. He is not a Thiel Fellow, nor a Thiel Lad (to translate to his native Scottish vernacular). With Bitcoin reaching new highs monthly, the dominating headlines often miss the point of cryptocurrency because it was never about the money or the brand. It’s about interesting people doing interesting things, and Gupta has quietly impacted the world in his own way, doing a lot of thinking over the years (136,000 tweets worth). Gupta helped coordinate Ethereum’s 2015 release, working as a project manager on strategy and communications. He worked as the strategic architect of Consensys, the leading crypto venture studio, and as the designer of Dubai’s National Blockchain strategy. In addition to being the Blockchain Fellow for Digital Catapult, a UK government-funded initiative to increase the amount of innovation in the country, he has two current projects.
