Hello Steemit!

A little about me:

My name is Ethan Jeffery-liu and I am currently working on my B.A. in Economics. My enjoyment improving my understanding of macroeconomic theories has led to my ongoing exploration of geopolitics and government structures.

In 2016 I began investing in crypto and quickly became an enthusiast. I believe that blockchains have the potential to improve equity and trust in financial and political systems. However, certain functions of existing institutions, such as use of monetary policy, are clearly advantageous for a stable and well functioning economy. Many of these functions are hard to conceptualize being implemented in a decentralized network, and these limitations will have to be conquered to create the next generation of cryptocurrencies.

I hope that Steemit will help me:

-Learn more about cryptocurrency
-Share my ideas
-Document my experience as I look for new opportunities

Are decentralized monetary systems the future?
Will prediction markets change politics?
I want to join the conversation!

Picture coming soon!
