Welcome to BlockSpaces Live!
2020 has exposed massive weaknesses in many of our existing systems. Challenged by new conditions that have shifted our culture on seemingly every front, one thing is clear: innovation is no longer a “nice to have”; indeed, transparency, accountability and resiliency are now mission critical. With supply chain, disease surveillance and tracking, voting, and distributed ID all top of mind this year, can blockchain be the technology solution to help build a world that is better than before?
Join host Rosa Shores, cofounder of BlockSpaces, for a very special conversation with IOHK Founder/CEO Charles Hoskinson. Hoskinson is a Colorado-based technology entrepreneur and mathematician. He attended Metropolitan State University of Denver and University of Colorado Boulder to study analytic number theory before moving into cryptography through industry exposure.
His professional experience includes founding three cryptocurrency-related start-ups – Invictus Innovations, Ethereum and IOHK – and he has held a variety of posts in both the public and private sectors. He was the founding chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation’s education committee and established the Cryptocurrency Research Group in 2013.
His current projects focus on educating people about cryptocurrency, being an evangelist for decentralization and making cryptographic tools easier to use for the mainstream. This includes leading the research, design and development of Cardano, a third-generation cryptocurrency that launched in September 2017.
