He views civilization as an operating system. He understands economies of scale. He believes strongly in consent of the governed and reacts strongly to all submissive ideologies that revolve around trust.
He has been concerned for a long time about the
Regulatory-Capture and even
Deep Capture that he sees manifested on Wall-Street and in Washington. He believes that it is necessary to replace both Central Banking and Central Counterparty Clearing with decentralized alternatives.
Finally, he is excited about blockchain-based decentralized exchanges, stocks and derivatives.
