Regulation is often seen as a restriction to innovation. And in some cases, it certainly is, but in other cases, not so much. Perhaps what defines the difference is your attitude towards building innovation within the context of regulations.

How do people fundamentally make decisions and how do we trust these decisions? How do we build trust through interaction system that we trust? How do we redesign the future social contract going forward? What role does philosophy, anthropology play alongside the technological, economic and legal development of Blockchain, if any?

These are just some of the conversations that we had with JP Fabri at the Blockchain Africa Conference.

Listen up – it was a fascinating chat ?.
