🪽 One of the key ideas that stood out to me from Charles Hoskinson’s speech at the United Nations was this: The world is entering an era where exponential technologies such as the internet, AI, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, and blockchain are developing simultaneously. But while technology is advancing exponentially, law, regulation, and governance are not evolving at the same speed. According to Hoskinson, we need a new approach: Turning regulation into code. Governments should define the problems they want to solve and the values they want to protect; the technology sector and open-source communities can then turn those goals into practical systems. In such a model, regulation could become more global, automated, continuously operating, and less costly. He also argues that blockchain’s role should not be limited to financial transactions. One of its core value propositions is creating trust. Privacy and digital identity are important components of this architecture. In line with this vision, Hoskinson points to projects such as Midnight as an example of how blockchain, privacy, and identity technologies can come together. One of the most striking ideas from the speech was: “Don’t be evil” — but “Can’t be evil.” Instead of relying on people to act ethically, we should design systems where abuse is technically much harder or impossible. Ultimately, Hoskinson’s message is not simply “let’s use more blockchain.” It raises a much bigger question: How should law, government, and society evolve in a world shaped by exponential technologies? And perhaps the most fundamental question of all: How can we use technology to rebuild trust in each other and in our institutions? 😉 #Midnightnetwork #Cardano #Realfi $NIGHT $ADA @MidnightNtwrk @midnightfdn @Cardano @Cardano_CF @IOGroup @realfi_co @IOHK_Charles #Web3 #Blockchain #ZK #Privacy #DApps 🦉
