Russian "Wavesplatform" is “aiming to be a decentralized kickstarter”; founder Sasha Ivanov “has crowdfunded in excess of $16 million for the development of the project”; Liz Parrish’s somatic #gene-therapy company #BioViva, which already has applied a #longevity treatment to reverse #aging of some of its employees (at least including Liz), is issuing shares on “the blockchain”. Not clear whether Waves has its own blockchain or is using #Bitcoin. This is the most #cyberpunk news article I’ve ever seen.
