Time for a (re)introduction … 👋 Hi, I’m Loring. 🇲🇲 I got into crypto after I witnessed the military coup in Myanmar in 2021. I saw first hand how self-sovereign digital assets can make the difference between life in prison and a life of freedom/fulfillment. 🛡️ I work at @shutter, helping make Ethereum become more fair and credibly neutral. My goal is to eliminate malicious MEV - which has stolen $1.8B from crypto traders since 2020. 🤝 I’m passionate about funding public goods (ie underfunded dependencies), esp via @protocolguild @octant and @glodollar. 🎰 I enjoy game and mechanism design - esp lotteries, auctions, dominant assurance contracts, etc. 😬 I left Twitter a couple months ago because the algo was force feeding me fascist propaganda. I really like Farcaster but I wish there was more serious crypto and cypher punk conversations here.

I'd donating my weekly Rewards to Free Roman Storm. I'm also matching it with personal funds. Right now, I'm in place 410. That's $20 ($10 rewards + $10 matching). But if you want me to donate more, then share & like this cast - and a bunch of my other casts too. Can we get to $700 or $1,200? Let's do it!

I don't care about the leaderboard. But I do want to see more meaningful content - esp related to my work in Ethereum, privacy and mechanism design. If there is a critical mass of people casting about meaningful content, I'll be happy with my niche on Farcaster.
