I cite ENS (ens.domains) as one of the bedrock technologies in this next cycle. Identity is the biggest flaw in our current social media / search engine / information discovery paradigm.

In the next two weeks, I'll have my PGP keys discoverable, on blockchain, two clicks away from anyone with (unrestricted) internet access.
