I like playing at the ecosystem level to engineer systemic change. 5x founder and helped scale another company to 8 digits revenue, in addition to advising three growth-stage companies.My work has centered around movement-building, and leveraging blockchain technology for socioeconomic transformation. In 2013 I discovered the first real world use case for blockchain technology as applied to my company at the time - nearly instantaneous, nearly-free, fully permissionless p2p cross border payments anywhere in the world - “email for money”. The first time I deployed a blockchain-based asset or token was on Bitcoin’s Colored Coins Protocol in 2015. In the blockchain industry I’ve worn a number of hats, including on the founder/CEO side, corporate, philanthropic/public goods funding, event production (conferences, developer residencies and hackathons), a sprinkle of VC, and ecosystem incubation.I’ve spoken publicly in 25+ countries.www.davidcasey.me for moreKeywords: circular economy, financial inclusion, emerging markets, fintech, blockchain, decentralization, ecological economics, cradle-to-cradle, ecovillages, permaculture, regenerative ag, future of living, future of work, fourth industrial revolution, zero marginal cost society, systems transformation, technology & consciousness
