Special thanks to Justin Drake and Jinglan Wang for feedback In 2014, I made a post and a presentation with a list of hard problems in math, computer science and economics that I thought were important for the cryptocurrency space (as I then called it) to be able to reach maturity.

Public blockchains, in particular, don’t make sense for many businesses where privacy is required. Pseudonymous isn’t good enough, and generally speaking, modern databases are pretty good at what they do.

As chairman and co-founder of the Social Alpha Foundation (SAF), Nydia Zhang has left a solid mark on the blockchain and cryptocurrency space, though, as a young art student at the University of Washington in 2011, blockchain was far from the direction she saw her life taking.

As Bitcoin approaches its 10th anniversary, its community, old and new, has begun taking stock of how a decade has come to alter or define the cryptocurrency — and what Bitcoin has done to alter or define the decade.

It’s hard to find a tech news site that doesn’t have at least one article in the headlines about how blockchain is going to change the world. The decentralized technology behind Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has been credited with the potential not only to disrupt our modern banking system, but to completely revolutionize industries like healthcare, investing, messaging, and even voting.

The blockchain technology is bringing marvelous changes to technology and, while some of them are still years away from being fully implemented, there are some very interesting experiments being made right now.

Coin holder voting, both for governance of technical features, and for more extensive use cases like deciding who runs validator nodes and who receives money from development bounty funds, is unfortunately continuing to be popular, and so it seems worthwhile for me to write another post explaining why I (and Vlad Zamfir and others) do not consider it wise for Ethereum (or really, any base-layer blockchain) to start adopting these kinds of mechanisms in a tightly coupled form in any significant way.

In which I argue that “tightly coupled” on-chain voting is overrated, the status quo of “informal governance” as practiced by Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and similar systems is much less bad than commonly thought, that people who think that the purpose of blockchains is to completely expunge soft mushy human intuitions and feelings in favor of completely algorithmic governance (emphasis on “completely”) are absolutely crazy, and loosely coupled voting as done by Carbonvotes and similar systems is underrated, as well as describe what framework should be used when thinking about blockchain governance in the first place.

On June 9th, the launch of the EOS blockchain has validated their goals towards reaching more than $4 billion to help develop their open-source software over a year-long ICO. Candidates in the role of validators and “block producers” from all across the world have successfully established their power by voting “GO” to the mainnet live. […]

Recently I had the fortune to have received an advance copy of Eric Posner and Glen Weyl’s new book, Radical Markets, which could be best described as an interesting new way of looking at the subject that is sometimes called “political economy” - tackling the big questions of how markets and politics and society intersect.

Decentralized quantum computing represents a transformative shift in how we approach advanced problem-solving.
True composability would democratize financial experimentation, turning DeFi into a system that is as empowering as it is accessible.
Hopefully, other chains will truly realize and embrace the power of memecoins so crypto can grow as a whole.
Four years after introducing the concept of zero-knowledge machine learning, Berkeley RDI and Polyhedra have unveiled a production-ready system that could redefine how trust and transparency are built into artificial intelligence.
Blockchains are still considered by many to be a novelty, a passing fad, or a dream, and digital identity promises its best use case.
Making crypto mainstream warrants a massive overhaul of data for retail and institutional investors.
Crypto literacy can’t be just an attractive “gimmick” to hook users with—it has to be at the core of how companies engage with their audience.
