Else Ventures

A startup studio building for a more intelligent, empowered, and humane future.

I like blockchain tech quite a bit because it extends open source to open source+state, a genuine/exciting innovation in computing paradigms. I’m just sad and struggle to get over it coming packaged with so much braindead bs (get rich quick pumps/dumps/scams/spams/memes etc.) It’s like we dug up a powerful alien artifact and society is humping it while taking selfies.
