  motivations: As one of the founding members of Cardano, I’ve spent nearly 10 years on education and advocacy.
  objectives: Some countries have strong infrastructure, while others do not. Some populations are growing, while others, like Japan, are shrinking. Japan’s economy is bound to contract due to its declining birthrate. That’s why I believe Cardano can help balance the global economy—by enabling micro-lending without the need to trust individuals. Only Cardano can make this possible.
