Ángel GonzálezAdidas: An Identity Brand
In my teens, the first pair of name-brand sport shoes I ever got were Adidas’s legendary Rome model. Since then, Adidas is a brand that has always been part of my life, perhaps because it’s the one I’ve identified with most over the course of nothing less than five decades now. And this was not due to any functional or rational advantage. Rather, the tie has always been an emotional one, and it has stood the test of time. When I worked at mass-market advertising agencies (specifically, at the...
Ángel GonzálezApeDocs: A Web3-based Community of Healthcare Professionals
One of the first, most active groups in the early days of the Web2 were health professionals, especially doctors. Spanish MDs like Fernando Casado, Ana González Duque, Rafael Bravo, Enrique Gavilán, María José Alonso, Rafael Timermans, Vicente Baos, Salvador Casado, Julio Mayol, etc. were already present in the Spanish healthcare blogosphere, and with their Twitter accounts back in 2008, paving the way for the rest of us. Thanks to them, many of us learned to understand and were attracted to ...
Ángel GonzálezThe Technological Singularity is Nearer
In the realm of science and technology, one name that has sparked both admiration and curiosity in me over the last decade is the futurist Ray Kurzweil. A pioneering mind in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), he has been at the forefront of technological innovation for over sixty years. At SXSW 2024, Kurzweil shared his insights, predictions, and vision on the intersection of technology and human existence that he has just summarized in his new book The Singularity is Nearer (availabl...

I've been listening to Molecule 's latest DeSci podcast with Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, as the featured guest. In it he talks about the benefits of Blockchain technology for scientific development.
I'd like to highlight the following key messages from his talk with Vincent Weisser about the great value of this technology in the Science sector:
The funding of DeSci projects
• Crypto as a useful tool to raise capital for scientific research
• The financing of projects that transcend those promoted by traditional research institutions
• The donation of crypto funds to charities operating in the fields of Health and Science
• The funding of scientific research projects aimed at longevity, such as those promoted by the decentralized autonomous organization VitaDAO
• Quadratic funding as the best mechanism for deciding how to distribute the monies raised for the different research projects in DAOs: a more democratic form of funding in which the number of contributors takes on more importance than the amount invested, all without the need for a centralized decision-making body
Peer reviews in scientific literature
• The improvement of the peer review system through the traceability allowed by Blockchain of soulbound (non-transferable) tokens and NFTs
• Improved citation graphics
• Improved contribution graphs in peer reviews
Proof of Attendance Protocols (POAPs)
• For those attending online or offline science events
• POAPs to recognize professionals' contributions to scientific research
• Certification with a POAP token for being the author of a paper, writing a post, or being involved in a certain role in a scientific community
Proof of Humanity (PoH)
• To ensure that you are truly human — and not a bot — on the Ethereum network within the decentralized science community of professionals
• To constantly and permanently obtain a number of Universal Basic Income (UBI) tokens
Zero Knowledge Protocols (ZKP)
• To ensure the privacy of scientific data
• Because they allow for the secure exchange of information between parties without the need for them to trust each other
Decentralized education
• Buterin believes that decentralized education should be part of decentralized science
Here you have the complete podcast on Molecule's YouTube channel
This man is a genius, and the technological architecture he has created with the Ethereum Blockchain is transforming all sectors, including Science, as we have known it until now, through disintermediation, transparency, privacy, security, democratization, identity sovereignty and ownership of the data generated.
