Why it Matters
The Internet and rise of social media over the past decade have transformed the nature of our social interactions and how we organize to accomplish common goals.
Decentralized digital currencies and blockchain-based technologies are transforming the way we organize to create, store, and transfer value.
It will take significant effort to ensure these tools are used to improve the lives of billions and mitigate the unforeseen dangers that will arise with adoption.
