Thank-you to Vessy Mink my US musician and blockchain innovator friend for putting ‘The Punk Operating System’ forward and to Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Cid aka The Philosopher for publishing my introduction to The Punk Operating System – Built Without Permission in the June 2026 edition of Virtualia, a philosophy and Blockchain thought leadership magazine published by the Philosophy Department of Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto in Brasil.
I’ll link below, the entire magazine is a very interesting read on the subjects of philosophy, deregulation and tokenisation which permeate thought in the evolving blockchain and Cryptocurrency regulation arena.
Amusing wild AI generated graphics throughout, not least my section!
