I stepped through the looking glass of the startup world when I founded a crowdsourced filmmaking studio, relying on an internal (and centralised) digital currency, around the time when Bitcoin appeared. Since then, I've been getting more and more involved in the world of blockchain. I've been the CPO of decentralised identity startup Brickchain, I'm currently a director at the decentralised connectivity network Nodle, and the co-founder of Acropolis, a foundation developing open source technology for participative democracy.
