Utopia Press Series Launch

I've been fiddling around with publications on Medium for around a year, informing my audience as a futurist where tech, business and globalization is converging at an accelerated rate. Currently I run a few publications on Medium and cultivated a following of over 22,000 through prolific writing:

• Future Sin - tech criticism.
• Utopia Press - positive stories on innovation.
• Blockchain Positive - more of a focus on blockchain.
• Digital Asset News - more of a focus on crypto, altcoins and crypto assets.

I'd also like to focus more on artificial intelligence in 2019. Curating tech news has become something I'm really passionate about, and I deliver articles both inside and outside of the tech news cycle that push boundaries on the dying breed of op-eds.

While my audience is typically younger than the active users of LinkedIn, I provide an alternative voice to the future of business, stocks, social media, blockchain, crypto and innovation. I'm lucky enough to be piloting LinkedIn's Series concept, and hope to bring you relevant inspiration, so follow it if you think it might appeal to you.

Here are some of my recent articles you can check out.

Facebook’s Suicide Algorithms are Invasive

2019 will be a year where our data is profiled to increase monetization, personalization and Ad-targeting. Facebook actually profiles us from 0 to 1 on a number of spectrums that could be thought of as a social data credit system.

Ethereum’s Constantinople is Here

In 2019 Ethereum begins to fast-track how 'Ethereum 2.0' is rolled out, this week Constantinople goes live.

China Will Boycott Foreign Brands

In 2019 the trade wars escalates to full blown tech wars between China and the United States. I predict a we are at the beginning of a full-blown nation state boycott of U.S. brands in China. The softness of Apple's iphone sales is a prime example of that.

The Fraud of Crypto Community is Relevant

With the sudden demise of ICOs the second half of 2018, we need to introspect on what an altcoin's community consists of. If you run an airdrop you don't get 'real users', just pump and dump schemers. It's possible the model of crypto crowdfunding was irreparably fake and disgenuine.

Utopia press will explore themes such as the impact of artificial intelligence on work, universal basic income, decentralization, GenZ trends in apps, and a broad range of the intersection of humanity and technology, innovation and ethics.
