I’m proud to be starting this alongside exceptional people with @oskarth and @_rymnc . In additional to phenomenal backers such as @BitMNR , @Sharplink , @snzholding and @ethereumJoseph . Finance is evolving. Privacy is the difference between Ethereum holding billions in assets today and running trillions in financial activity tomorrow. This is only the beginning.

Using a public blockchain shouldn’t mean making every piece of sensitive information public. Oskar Thorén (@oskarth) co-founded @eth_systems to build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum. Previously, he led the Ethereum Foundation’s Institutional Privacy Task Force. His work tackles a practical challenge: protecting sensitive information while preserving the benefits of an open, shared network. Meet Oskar at Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress 3.

In case you missed it, a lot happened at Legora this week. Here’s the rundown. We launched Skills, a library of 250+ legal Skills built and tested by our legal engineers, covering commercial contracts, privacy, M&A, litigation, employment, and more. Webinars follow next week on October 14 and 15. We welcomed our largest ever cohort of new joiners this week, 106 people, taking headcount to 1,000. BMW Group is rolling out Legora across its in-house legal team, one week after we opened our Munich office, where more than 13,000 lawyers in Germany now work in Legora, up from around 3,000 at the start of the year. And in our latest Legora Voices, Stockholm legal engineer Oskar Elvkull talked through building for high-stakes customers and the culture keeping standards high as we grow.

As a young socialist, Hayek read Ludwig von Mises’ 1920 paper “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.” Mises showed that socialist central planning isn’t merely inefficient, it’s impossible. Without private property and genuine market prices, planners lack any rational way to allocate scarce resources or determine real costs and needs. Even Oskar Lange, a leading socialist in the calculation debate, effectively conceded the point. While he promoted “market socialism” with trial-and-error pricing by a central board, real-world socialist planners in Eastern Europe quietly relied on world capitalist market prices as a guide. Without external free-market price signals, pure socialism would be economically blind and coordination would collapse. Mises went further, arguing that interventionism, the “middle way” of government meddling, is inherently unstable. Each intervention creates problems that invite more interventions, eventually leading to full socialization. Price controls cause shortages, subsidies distort production, and the cycle continues until the economy is fully planned. The lesson is clear. Rational economics requires genuine market prices emerging from voluntary exchange and private property. Half-measures don’t stabilize the system. They accelerate the drift into central planning. The Austrian School understood this decades before the collapse of the Soviet bloc proved it in practice.
