Building a sovereign, privacy-first, programmable, economic infrastructure, with Anoma CEO Christopher Goes

Lex chats with Christopher Goes, co-founder of Anoma and Cryptium
Labs. Initially, they explore the current centralized monetary
system, how it disconnects from physical changes, and the need
for technology to evolve with the complexity of our financial
systems. Following this, they deep dive into the differences
between privacy-preserving and data-obscuring technology, and how
privacy is important for citizens, governments, and communities.
Ethereum, Cosmos, and Anoma have a shared vision, but their
approaches to blockchains and assets differ.
