Tell us about yourself and your background.

I design and build peer-to-peer networks as alternatives to centralized institutions. My passion for blockchains and other social scalability technologies stems from a desire to build a more peaceful and voluntary society. Twitter @cryptotechguru.

What have you been working on recently?

I’m working on Equibit, the Blockchain of Capital. Equibit is a fully-decentralized, open-source, proof-of-work blockchain specialized in the issuance and trade of crypto-securities.

Blockchains can facilitate collaboration through its fees and incentive structures. At Equibit, we apply these peer-to-peer technologies to disintermediate the issuance and trade of securities in capital markets.

Peer-to-peer byzantine fault-tolerant networks will continue to develop and evolve. I believe we will see a growing demand for specialized blockchains focused on solving specific problems.

Equibit Group AG is building the Blockchain of Capital. We are True Believers. Equibit is an open-source blockchain protocol designed to provide securities services for capital markets. The protocol automates and disintermediates many of the functions traditionally offered by central securities depository (CSD) and shareholder services companies. As a result, the disruption we seek to create will allow CFOs to realize significant cost savings in managing their organization’s cap table, listing fees, and investor communications. There is no other project like it.
