Turkish-American Emin Gün Sirer an honorary c-punk!

While Satoshi Nakamoto is credited with designing the first cryptocurrency, it was actually Turkish-American Emin Gün Sirer — CEO of Ava Labs, professor at Cornell University and co-director of the Initiative for Cryptocurrencies and Smart Contracts — who designed the first in 2003, six years before the launch of Bitcoin. Named “Karma,” it was based on a proof-of-work protocol. https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-and-nfts-meet-regulation-as-turkey-tak...
