What secret perspective or experience do you have that will help us win?

If you could only ask 1 question to an investor to evaluate (you’re a founder), what would you ask?

I'm eth newbie..just learning

I spent most summers growing up on the Gulf Coast in the US

My bedroom window had a set of trees outside it where the Ospreys hangout/nest/eat

I did a lot of saltwater fishing and they were the only things that caught more fish than me

That made me envious

What is the origin of your "osprey" handle?

Fan of burritos, digging into unutilized capacity,

trying to solve some problems at https://www.louiza.xyz

Simple: upgrading the standard for document timestamping (ie legal contracts) to make it trustless and perpetual instead of trusted and temporary 

Complex: I think issuing verifiable, offchain attestations for every user action in a developer's application is incredibly under explored and Web Proofs/zkTLS

Are there any Witness use-cases utilizing web2 data that you're particularly excited about?

Bitcoin's monetary policy (over a long enough time horizon) without OP_CAT

What's something in crypto that majority of people think will work out, but you don't?

Art enthusiast, passionate about mental growth, and an ever-learning individual

Nope not yet but you should link me!

I like a lot of stuff: Techno (live energy), vocalists (rare human skill), Texas County (nostalgia), etc

Do you listen to Fiehe’s music mix ? And what really is your type of music

great questions thanks!

1. I would start here to understand what properties can be verified/proven about any file: https://witness.co/blog/what-the-hell-is-digital-ownership
-tl;dr: "What", "Who", and "When" are the only 3 properties from our -Example: You may trust that Leica's private key hasn't been exfiltrated and that they only use it inside physical cameras: https://contentauthenticity.org/blog/leica-launches-worlds-first-camera-with-content-credentials
If this key is ever exposed, the timeliness of these signatures becomes much more important and we hope @witness Protocol has a role to play there.

2. I think it will take a while, but the recent API updates from Apple are promising. Definitely some increasing attention and action around content credentials via C2PA/CIA (https://c2pa.org/). Ultimately I the timing around advancements in AI/achievement of AGI will be the largest forcing function.

What’s the outlook for verifiable data for photographs etc that define a photograph as real vs ai?

and secondly how quickly do you see adoption of this form of tech into the stack shipped natively with OS?

I really only like movies that feel like a novel, physical experience and don't rewatch many

Example: Interstellar rocket launch scene in 70mm IMAX being probably my most memorable scene of all time
