currently:
- figuring out what’s next after [stepping down](https://twitter.com/ObadiaAlex/status/1671151059585097729?s=20) from flashbots in 2023
- investing in & advising projects i care about
things i believe:
- we will need new technologies to tackle the challenges humanity faces over the next decades
- many breakthroughs are required to discover and scale new technologies
- breakthroughs often happen at the intersection of seemingly unrelated fields
- and catch on fire when they imply/are coupled with asymmetries or exponentials
- breakthroughs all start from ideas, and ideas come when it’s their time — it’s about being ready to receive them
- the ones best positioned to do so pay attention to the world as it is, think from first principles, are willing to be & to remain contrarian, and have a bias to action
things i am interested in:
- innovation systems — how innovation has been & is organized, and how it could be organized to tackle the problems ahead
- making sense of how the large tech trends (ai, biotech, crypto, ar/vr, mobility, quantum, climate, space) will interlink over the next 10y, and anticipating macro first & second-order effects
- novel applications of quantum crypto and other new cryptographic primitives
- novel consensus protocols and incentive designs in permissionless systems
- tech pushing the space frontier — either enabling new use-cases on earth, or enabling a multi-planetary future
- tech tackling the climate crisis — energy tech (fusion, batteries, distributed grid), carbon capture tech, new materials
this website:
- aggregates content i’ve created and contributed to
- is a way to connect with you! i am happy to chat about any of the above, and to consider working together if it makes sense to
