Abdelkrim Dib

I was born in 1994 in Russia and moved to Canada in 2000, where I went to school. I happily played World of Warcraft during 2007-2010, but one day Blizzard removed the damage component from my beloved warlock's Siphon Life spell. I cried myself to sleep, and on that day I realized what horrors centralized services can bring. I soon decided to quit.

In 2011, searching for a new purpose in life, I discovered Bitcoin. At first, I was skeptical, and did not understand how it could possibly have value without physical backing. But slowly I became more and more interested. I started writing for a blog called Bitcoin Weekly initially at a meek wage of $1.5 per hour, and soon with Mihai Alisie cofounded Bitcoin Magazine.

In 2012, I entered the University of Waterloo; in 2013 I realized that crypto projects were taking up 30h/week of my time, so I dropped out. I went around the world, explored many crypto projects, and finally realized that they were all too concerned about specific applications and not being sufficiently general - hence the birth of Ethereum, which has been taking up my life ever since.

There is no doubt that the cryptocurrency revolution will irrevocably change the world. It will impact governments, companies, universities, cities and every centralized entity. Historically, the cryptic nature of blockchain technology and the insular group of experts has deterred the vast majority of enthusiasts from learning and embracing cryptocurrency and blockchain fundamentals. The Block will demystify the inner workings behind the technology and make it accessible to all. Anyone with an interest in learning more about blockchain, cryptocurrency, smart contracts, privacy, decentralization, etc. can join us on our collective journey.

The Block’s foundation is basic and powerful: we are crypto simplified.

Agoric is committed to making strong security easier to achieve. Creating secure smart contracts using today’s technology is inherently difficult. That difficulty has limited both the number of applications created, and the number of programmers qualified to create them. We are developing an open, JavaScript-based, object-capability (ocap) programming layer to address both issues. The Agoric ocap layer will include robust security properties beyond anything available today, and it will provide that security across substrates, from local machines to global blockchains.

Agoric
