I’m using my 7th year in the blockchain industry to finally start launching my own stuff. 

I will shill it here and elsewhere, but of course I’ll share other stuff too. Hopefully stuff that’s helpful and insightful.

Which day of EthCC are you most looking forward to?

Is there a particular talk or session that had caught your interest?

I worked for Bloom Protocol for 2.5 years, working feverishly to try and get this sort of SSI or DID adoption. I’m happy to see stories like this one begin to bubble up.

Is anyone else using a security extension to check their transactions before confirming?

I’ve tried Fire, but currently relying on Hexagate. I like that it gives me a quick risk score and doesn’t create another browser window.

For the first time today, someone asked me if I had a Farcaster account. I was happy I could reply, “Yes!”
