TLDRvia the TL;DR App

Decent’s the first healthcare project joining leaders like Coinbase and Digital Currency Group to help shape the future of crypto.

  • Policy matters. We believe the greatest existential threat to crypto is uninformed and unsupportive regulation. From the Blockchain Association’s launch post: “Our objective is to create a pro-innovation environment for the industry, meeting the growing global demand for accessible, transparent and democratic financial and technical systems. To do that, we’ll foster collaboration between the community and industry leaders, educate policymakers and the public on the benefits of blockchain and related technologies, and advocate for public policy that cultivates and enables innovation and improves lives.”
  • Partners matter. Decent chose our seed investors on the thesis that steel sharpens steel — the partners we align with should inspire and demand our best. If we are the average of the five we spend the most time with, becoming one of the first 12 founding members of Blockchain Association along with Coinbase, Circle, Protocol Labs, Digital Currency Group, Polychain Capital, Interstellar, Hangar, Wicklow, CoinList, Blockstack, and Z-Cash will make that an average we can be proud of.
  • Impact matters. The secret to widespread adoption is widespread utility. Nothing more and nothing less. Politics can make for strange bedfellows, but not in this case. We will proudly work with all partners who can help us deliver on our mission of affordable healthcare for all. We believe all other mission-oriented companies in crypto should do the same.

Blockchain technology doesn’t matter unless it helps people.

Crypto can’t change the future without acknowledging the present.

Let’s go.
