Bryan Ford | Green Pill #33

Welcome to the first episode of Season 2 of the Green Pill podcast! 

Professor Bryan Ford leads the Decentralized/Distributed Systems (DEDIS) lab at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL). He focuses broadly on building secure decentralized systems. 

Sybil resistance is at the heart of building a regenerative society, and Bryan's lucid and critical approach to Web3 and digital identity helps us sharpen the Green Pill thesis.

Take the green pill anon.
