George Gilder, Legendary Economist and Tech Visionary, Joins Snip Advisory Board
Today we’re honored to announce that George Franklin Gilder is joining the Snip advisory board.
George is the author of 15 books and is considered one of the most influential economists of the past decades, with his book Wealth and Poverty frequently quoted by late US President Ronald Raegan. In 1986, President Raegan awarded him the White House Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence.
In the 1980s, George was one of the first visionaries to recognize the potential of the Internet, at a time when many didn’t yet understand the technology and its implications. For years he wrote enthusiastically about the potential of microchips and fiberoptic cables but was met with wide skepticism. Today, these technologies are critical to the operation of the Internet.
George is currently advocating blockchain technology, labeling it “the 8th layer of the Internet”, in reference to the 7 layers of the classic Internet OSI model. He recently gave a keynote speech at the Blockstack Summit, lauding the potential of blockchain to disrupt Internet centralization and censorship.
George is providing Snip with great advice and we’re very excited to have him with us on this journey. George, welcome! 🎉
