    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? Decentralized networks do not have single-based authority. Distributed networks do, however can be decentralized. I see the pros and cons and both and am not particularly biased towards one over the other
    As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the xx network platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions. Xx network seems to be pushing the envelope in the creation and maintenance of digital cash, and decentralizing society to create a more fair, safe and just way of earning money. This is why I am so interested in the whole project, I believe xxnetwork is taking things to the next level as opposed to other networks that are remaining stagnant.
    Privacy by Default is a goal of the xx network Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet? Nobody should have to willingly give their personal information out unless absolutely necessary. Should be able to earn and trade safely and privately barring any red flags.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems?
