6/ In college, I was sure I was going to work in post-conflict zones. I visited the Balkans as Montenegro was voting for independence; learned from Israeli-Palestinian youth peace groups in Ramallah; and created a study abroad program about child soldier reconciliation in Uganda.

9/ I am incredibly excited about these crypto-fiat-style innovations that make stable global money easier to use for everyone. I think @TusharJain_ and @KyleSamani's arguments about the impact of Gemini Dollar are well thought out and interesting to consider.
