Thank you for all your wonderful contributions to this space!

1. What authors or books had the biggest impact on your world view?

2. Can you ever imagine yourself working on anything other than the crypto-currency / smart contract space, and if so, what would that be?

Roger,

Thanks ...

What role do you see Omni http://www.omni.foundation playing in the 2.0 smart contracts scene?

Good question. It depends on the focus the core developers decide to have going forward when it comes to next features. Up until now the focus has been on the ability to issue immutable digital assets ...

Hello David,

Thanks for being part of this huge AMA event!

Thanks for the question BitcoinXio,
