The race to build and the race to regulate

· Professor Naseem Naqvi MBE

From the original postYou win the race to regulate, but you lose the race to build. You win control but you lose the future. You choose to build and you will shape the future. Build first, regulate second. The Internet was built first…

You win the race to regulate, but you lose the race to build.

You win control but you lose the future.

You choose to build and you will shape the future.

Build first, regulate second.

The Internet was built first, regulated second.

Understand the other side’s argument

· Professor Naseem Naqvi MBE

From the original postMost Web3 leaders learn just enough to prove they’re right, but not enough to see where they might be wrong. True mastery in #Blockchain lies in understanding the other side’s arguments better than they do.

Writing code is redesigning society

· Professor Naseem Naqvi MBE

From the original postRemember: When you are writing a #Blockchain code, you aren't just designing a product; You are re-designing society, culture, contracts and economy. (a slide from UK's National Blockchain Roadmap, 2021).

Finding your place in blockchain

From the original post“What should I become in Blockchain?” - a university graduate asked me today. Sometimes, the journey isn’t about becoming anything. It’s about UNBECOMING everything that isn’t truly you:

Intelligence needs honesty

· Professor Naseem Naqvi MBE

Editorial introductionWhy increasingly intelligent systems still need infrastructure that keeps them trustworthy.

Original post · 10 January 2025
