January 2015. Some random part of Buenos Aires. 🇦🇷 The first architecture version of a decentralized court system. What would some day evolve into @Kleros_io. Hosting into a .bit domain and many cryptographic vault containers with data distributed in the Bitorrent network. Proof of existence of evidence and decisions distributed in the Bitcoin blockchain. A super complex mashup of tools intended to simulate advanced smart contract capabilities in the Bitcoin network. In July 2015, Ethereum launched and made it all easier. Happy 10 years, @ethereum!

@Kleros_io It was a bit like Da Vinci’s helicopter: the core concept was there, but the machine couldn’t be built until the advent of modern materials and internal combustion engines.

@Kleros_io And this was the first time I met @VitalikButerin It was at a meetup in Silicon Valley by mid-2016. He was in a panel with other @ethereumfndn OGs such as @koeppelmann and @VladZamfir. If I remember correctly that was around the days of The DAO hack!

@Kleros_io @VitalikButerin @ethereumfndn @koeppelmann @VladZamfir @EthCC In that talk back in 2018 I was already mentioning futarchy! 🤣

@Kleros_io Don’t let anyone tell you that great things can’t start in some random corner of the world...
