I started following Yorke Rhodes III somewhere in 2021.
I think his issue with Bitcoin is that he made this bold prediction during the Ethereum NFT hype in 2021 that Ethereum would become the ‘Decentralized AppStore’ by 2023.. and his prediction didn’t even come close.
This prediction went pretty viral at the time and when you’re the visionary behind Microsoft’s blockchain strategy you don’t want too lose any credibility on your predictions and decision making. Yorke doubled down and started an even deeper partnership with Ethereum through the Ethereum Entreprise Alliance.
He also started following me on LinkedIn during these times while I was giving free ethical advice on the LinkedIn platform whilst working on projects in Decentralized Philanthropy.
I even recall him starting the Ethical Tech Summit with the NYU SPS Center for Global affairs shortly after I stopped with giving free advice about Decentralized Philanthropy on the LinkedIn platform.
The ‘Ethical Tech Collab’. The event is part now of the Entreprise Ethereum Alliance.
While they left me out I am happy that I have been able too inspire and help Ethereum with a more ethical strategy all around.
