It identifies such global disruptions as structural unemployment and inequality; failing education, healthcare, and research and development; human rights violations; and a biosphere in crisis. It identifies the four core change makers—the private sector, the state, civi...

Oct 31, 2019 - This is the second half of Trust(less): How Blockchain Will Help Us Navigate the Post-Trust World. It explores the broken promises of prominent players in the first ten years of blockchain technology and examines their behavior in terms of their benevolence, competence, and integrity. It also addresses the negative associations that orbit blockchain in the mind of the average, semi-informed observer and outlines a four-step process for rebuilding trust in the blockchain ecosystem.

Apr 14, 2018 - This case study details the AKASHA project, an initiative using blockchain technology to improve the social media experience for all stakeholders. Networks can be more private, inclusive, unrestricted, and participatory, rather than an instrument for central powers to censor, track, and influence users. AKASHA illustrates the potential and possible obstacles of blockchain-based social media.
