Course overview
Blockchains and crypto currencies are the foundation of the internet we always wanted, but never got. We are tired of getting our data extracted by corporates and of rigged-games by the elite. Bitcoin separates money from nation-states, and Ethereum gives everyone with a smartphone access to any Financial Service imaginable.
Yet, we’re only scratching the surface of what’s possible; just as oil lamps couldn’t predict cars, today’s crypto landscape barely hints at blockchain’s transformative potential: they are in fact unstoppable and I will show you why and inspire you how to reimagine your digital life.
While headlines often focus on scams or meme coins, the real story lies in how blockchains are quietly reshaping industries: from social media and digital identity to commerce and even environmental regeneration. Why isn’t this front-page news?
Because decentralization challenges entrenched power structures—governments, corporations, and middlemen who thrive on centralized control. Whilst AI will disrupt our jobs, onchain organizations will accelerate the end of management as we know it.
Understanding this technology now means staying ahead as it redefines industries and careers; being part of this movement is quickly shifting from a risk to an opportunity. Will you watch from the sidelines or take part in shaping the future?
Join us to co-create the more beautiful internet our hearts know is possible. Blockchains are permissionless: just do it.

This framework, inspired by Venkatesh Rao and supported by the Ethereum Foundation’s groundbreaking work, offers a comprehensive way to understand blockchains far beyond trading. I use it to make blockchain accessible for beginners while offering depth for more experienced learners.

None for the seminar
I'll fund you a few $ to set-up a non-custodial wallet for the purpose of this seminar. To enjoy further onchain experiments best to set-up and account with a Tier 1 Centralized Exchange like Coinbase, Binance or Kraken. You will need this as on-ramp bridge to a bank account.
Example of my onchain writing
I wrote this after being on Farcaster for six weeks. Farcaster is closely yet loosely aligned with Base, a Layer 2 blockchain owned by Coinbase. What's special about this article is that readers can collect it directly for a small fee. This helps creators make a direct income for the content they put out. I was chuffed to see that Jesse Pollack, founder of Base, collected it, too. I also embedded some NFTs in this onchain article, so if anyone has bought them as a result of reading this, those creators earn, too. Read. Write. Own. That's our mantra.
