A private discourse club for founders, investors, and operators building agentic, self-sovereign, privacy-first technologies for a dignified human future.
@Grimezsz @iannkatz Do you have any points of view on how to attract more people to rational discourse instead of the gravity well of limbos hijacking?
4/ This link between economic opportunity, ownership rights, and societal stability is well documented, and for Alex, it served as a segue into the blockchain space.
5/ In this episode, we talk about the challenges of leading crypto projects that aren't memes, aren't dogs wif anything, aren't about the bags, but that address some of the most fundamental rights of the 21st century: privacy, identity, and ownership.
3/ In Afghanistan, for example, the absence of a land registry system created chaos, fueling disputes over who owned what and prolonging economic conflict and social instability -- even after military combat died down.
1/ From Army Green Beret to crypto CEO and @a16z deal partner? Checks out.
In this drop @chadfowler & @AnastasiaU talk to @alexpruden, now ED at @AleoHQ Foundation about zero knowledge: the most promising & poorly understood tech for issuing cryptographic proof of authenticity.
2/ While serving in the U.S. Army, Alex recognized a frequent connection between terrorism, economic inequality, and the lack of verifiable identity and ownership.
Also...a pod is only as good as its visibility.

7/ Twitter was built in just one day, thanks to Ruby on Rails.
As Evan explains, Jack announced he’s doing it at Odeo's morning standup, and shipped the thing by 5.
Quick work. Dizzying consequences.
