Andrew Keys, co-founder and managing partner at DARMA Capital, is as bullish as they come on Ethereum. He believes Ethereum will soon become the basis for the global economy, and he wants to be responsible for helping to facilitate this. “I want to be part of the solution,” Keys says when asked why he doesn’t park his capital with a more traditional interest bearing vehicle. Tired of a system by which the masses must rely on a few global conglomerates as the brokers of trust, Keys and his team at DARMA would like to see such economic activity determined by an impersonal and objective arbiter.
