Amin Rafiee – Decentralized Governance

“BITNATION was initiated by Susanne Tarkowski Tempelhof in 2014. Since then it has really inspired thousands of minds around the world. This video shows her story, the concept and the global perspective from both a political and social perspective. A world that is unfairly determined by the geographical location of your birth.”

“This was a talk I did at the European Commission on the social benefits provided through BITNATON and other blockchain based platforms. It explains how Blockchain can help refugees throughout Europe and also globally, taking into consideration the possibilities of global citizen identifications, bitcoin based debit cards and other means that can really help stateless individuals.”

“When we consider the concept of closed source vs. open source, we tend to forget the amazing benefits that are provided by an open source environment / software. Case in point would be Linux vs. Windows. Linux running on the same kernel can be used – and is used – in defense systems, global banking systems, satellites, home appliances to your Android phones and very secure super computers. Whereas Windows is used in the desktop market and only due to the trend instead of providing anything better or more superior. This concept should be considered when we take into account any attempt of creating a centralized system. An open system is a system that has stood the test of nature. I believe Andreas Antonopoulos really puts this into a understandable manner in this talk.”

“This is my latest presentation. I believe this puts into contrast the errors of the regulated sectors in the world. How financial institutions and service providers as large as LinkedIn, Yahoo and many others have fallen victim to global hacks and in turn loosing valuable and highly private information that should have been encrypted in the first place. Furthermore, it provides a basic introduction to decentralized organisations, governance and innovations that have allowed people to earn from their content, support and moreover be able to share information without the need for a middle gateway such as an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or existing governments. People helping people and managing themselves and in turn empowering both individuality and collectivism.”
