Organised Censorship, the Society and the Truth with Jae Kwon

serejandmyself — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 02:00:00 +0000

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Jae Kwon the Founder of Cosmos and Tendermint, and Creator of Gno.land a platform to write smart contracts in Gnolang (Gno).

Cosmos is described as an ever-expanding ecosystem of interconnected apps and services, that connect using IBC, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. This innovation enables you to freely exchange assets and data across sovereign, decentralized blockchains.

The Tendermint (now called Ignite) consensus framework is a proprietary Byzantine-Fault-Tolerant (BFT) Proof-of-Stake (PoS) infrastructure that allows the Cosmos Hub and its underlying blockchain “network of networks” to function.

Organised censorship
The role of the ICF and it's shortcomings
Listen to your gut when trying to determine truth
Misleading naratives

Power of Gno as a tool and programming language and what need it solves
Better Tools will solve problems for the blockchain
Who is trying to keep us subjugated?
The things that are hidden need to become known
The difficulties of building social media platforms on the blockchain with an attractive user experience
