The second video of this series discusses how and why Joe Lubin, co-founder of #Ethereum got into blockchain. Joe shares his story of disenfranchisement and loss of trust in the global political and financial systems that eventually drew him to the #bitcoin whitepaper. “What attracted many of us to Bitcoin was the loss of trust in centralized infrastructure,” Lubin explains. “I realized we had a new technology to build a new trustworthy foundation.” He recounts the Occupy Wall Street movement and how he realized blockchain provided a solution to reshape the systemic problems that currently plague governments, societies, and financial institutions. The video also addresses Joe’s vision of blockchain and the trust system the technology enables. “On this new trust foundation, on blockchain, we can rearchitect accounting systems, financial systems, and political systems,” says Lubin.
