What you're feeling is permanent change.

Editor's Note

Hello from London!

A couple of articles below paint the future of Ethereum. I'm excited by the decentralised nature of these types of cryptocurrency because it could help police democracy with tamperproof, transparent and proven (proof-of-work) voting. You could also apply Ethereum in land management and title deeds, especially in emerging economies. The biggest application is within finance and we've seen significant investment in blockchain technologies. Finance will benefit from transparency in transactions but will also continue to see benefits in trading and transactions. Where else for Ethereum and trust-based transactions? We will also see application and improvements across anywhere where there is a transaction - anywhere from social networks, to taxis, to crowdfunding. That's why Ethereum is important, why equivalents in crypto are worth monitoring and why we need to understand where this is going. There are certainly risks in the future, from regulation to the fact that it is open-source - but ending Ether-mining is something I hadn't considered as a risk factor. And so I invite you to to deep dive into the world of Ethereum, the articles below and the recommended book from Henning Diedrich.

This week I managed 3 days in a row of crowds, including a trade fair and a concert. It was somewhat overwhelming, but two+ years ago this would have been quite normal. I'm building up slowly!

Stay Curious,

Onward! - Rahim
