The Identity Economy

The data was never the asset. You are.

Your identity has always been yours, yet others decided who saw it, how long they kept it and who profited from it. The Identity Economy is about the near future where you choose who gets to know you, for how long, when it stops, and what it earns you.

A short argument, out November 2026.

A language for what comes next.

Blockchain Jargon Busters

Making complexity worth understanding.

Technology creates change only when people can understand it well enough to act.

Blockchain Jargon Busters breaks down 365 terms from blockchain, crypto, and decentralized technologies into clear, accessible explanations. It is a tool for building informed judgment.

Five of 365 terms. Sample definitions; the book's own entries replace these.
