Decentralised Identity (DID)
I’d like to propose that the suggestions from MPs in the news in the UK at the moment that crypto should be regulated as gambling implies a limited understanding of the use cases of blockchain technology, and assumes that ALL of crypto is about speculators sitting in their boxer shorts at home buying some coin that their mate’s mum said is going to go up because she saw a TikTok that Kim Kardashian made about it (which a lot of it definitely is!). If you’d like to take the proverbial needle to the haystack and understand more about some real uses of blockchain, check out this post on Decentralised Identity.

Explainers
The Council for Crypto Innovation is an affiliation of companies and peeps who have “the premier global alliance advancing crypto innovation”. Well played sirs and madams. It’s in their interests for folks like you and me to understand what the heck is going on in crypto, and thus they’ve created a juicy library of Explainers. It’s all yours:

Too Good To Go
I’m a big fan of the planet but I’m also a big fan of people having what they want and need, which means I REALLY like the Circular Economy. There are ideas popping off everywhere on how to make things more circular. Too Good to Go is a great example. If you want a mid morning snack or you’re working late at the office, log on to the app and buy a surprise bag of goodies from your favourite local shop for a fraction of the retail price. Just go and pick it up in the allotted time. More goodness, less waste. Love it.
