“Longtermism is a technocratic dream that purports to give some of the wealthiest people in the world the ability to plan the far future of humanity according to their personal whims. It is hubris, treating billions of people as the pawns of god-like billionaire overseers.”

For the New Statesman, I argue longtermism needs to be opposed as it further empowers the wealthy to shape our future.

"It is called a federated network because you have to be one of those Star Trek guys to use it"

"Tesla will not be selling any bitcoin and we intend to use it for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy... We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use (less than 1 per cent) of bitcoin’s energy/transaction."
