"A lot of ethical, if you will, or moral questions are being asked already. Most American companies promote American values and protect democracy, and things like freedom of speech. But for example in countries like Malaysia Facebook had a major problem with freedom of speech, because the First Amendment does not apply there." A relaxed talk about startups, macro economics, blockchain, tech diplomacy, late stage investing and San Francisco with Alex Chitea - Managing Partner @ Funston Capital.

"At this stage, the conventional war is what we see. Conventional media as well. But what we have to handle now are the consequences of this situation. So as we know, the economy is at stake, but also the social cohesion in Europe. And it is true that it's a communication war, it's an opinion war." An interesting conversation with Her Excellency Ms. Laurence Auer - French Ambassador to Romania about geopolitics, blockchain, digital diplomacy and NFTs.

Vladimir Oane - Founder & CEO @ Deepstash

"...a lot of our systems are fundamentally based on the threat of violence. I'm not saying that people will not do horrible things, but now we have a system that is built on the idea of violence. Money, taxes, regulations, inflation, all of these things are imposed on you. There's no contract, you have no saying in it, you cannot opt out. So if you disagree, there's always the threat of being thrown in jail or bad things happening to you. So a system that is based on the threat of violence creates major issues in our society and blockchain at least offers a way out." A great talk with Vladimir Oane - founder and CEO @ Deepstash - about libertarianism, crypto, history, a better society and blockchain.

But more more serious than that, they attack the very essence of democracy. It is a very paradoxical thing, if I may put it that way." An interesting conversation with His Excellency Mr. Doru Costea - Romanian Ambassador to China about geopolitics and technology, fake news, digital diplomacy and blockchain.
