E18 - David Ding on Ternary Thinking Beyond Blockchain

David Ding is a futurist, founder, and tech advisor, and I haven't yet decided if he's a bit mad, or a bit genius. I think its likely he's a bit of both. By day David is an innovation advisor at Callaghan Innovation, he's deep in the start up and founder mindset, and loves the potential that immutable distributed systems have for reformation.

In this conversation we get into the idea of trinity systems - infinity + binary; over-unity thinking, self sovereignty, authority deferral, and what's on the horizon beyond blockchain.
