He believes in empowering individuals to reclaim agency in a dystopian society, valuing "skin in the game" and technology that aligns with human freedom.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Bitcoin doesn’t fix everything in the world&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Free software, got me hooked&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Felling down in the rabbit hole very quickly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Not being enslaved by machines &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Handling those ethical questions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Gaining confidence with time&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You need to have skin in the game&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dystopian society&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cyberpunk&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Seeing people gaining sovereignty by use this tech&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
