While at Devcon I spoke to Anuj Das Gupta, co-founder of Smart Transactions with Vlad Zamfir. Smart Transactions offers advanced blockchain solutions with context-aware, decentralized, and customizable transaction capabilities.

We spoke about how MEV (maximum extractable value) gives someone the ability to control time for a split second, how the control of time has influenced the transition to capitalism and why we must nationalize designers. We also talk about communism and why it's free time, or real freedom.

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.
