While in Thailand during the Funding the Commons design jam, I spoke to Tony Lai a co-steward of Mothertree Labs with Susanne Aichele who I spoke to in the last episode and Founder of the Blockchain Group at CodeX Stanford and an Edmund Hillary Fellow.

We spoke about Tony's interest in how to embody being a post-capitalist, Buddhist vs. Christian imagery, as well as his recent trip to Bhutan where he and others advised on a new ecological special economic zone initiative funded by the bitcoin they've been accumulating. And no it has nothing to do with network states thankfully.

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.
