    • To help build David Chaum's vision of a decentralized world
    • To contribute to a promising project
    • To undo the centralization of the internet by big tech companies
    • To help build true digital cash to fuel a decentralized economy
    • To reverse the political centralization of legal, police, and military organizations which favor the wealthy and powerful
    What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? It is a matter of control and nothing more. In terms of speed and performance, distributed and decentralized systems are roughly at the same level.
    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 is fascinating in its handling of metadata. This approach guarantees user protection at all levels. I would also like to say something about quantum resistance.
    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? So far on the internet, this is the only lever of pressure on the user, so this needs to be corrected and basic privacy should be given to all.
    In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? Such a computer can ruin online privacy and anonymity.
