In Thailand I spoke to Florian Glatz, probably the first crypto focused lawyer in Europe and possible the world and co-founder of Common Ground, an on-chain social network. Florian also helped author some part of the MiCA legislation in the EU which lays out the legal framework for cryptocurrences.

We spoke about his experiences in the early days of the ICO boom, the unpreparedness of the legal system for crypto, and how Common Ground is leading the way for fairer ways to do ICOs. You can also join the Breadchain community on Common Ground here. Those who signed up with 100 BREAD in their wallet qualified for an airdrop of their token.

ICYMI I've written a book about, no surprise, blockchains through a left political framework! The title is Blockchain Radicals: How Capitalism Ruined Crypto and How to Fix It and is being published through Repeater Books, the publishing house started by Mark Fisher who’s work influenced me a lot in my thinking.

The book is officially published and you use this linktree to find where you can purchase the book based on your region / country.
