Summary
Mihai Alisie is a founder and blockchain entrepreneur with 11+ years immersed in Bitcoin- and Ethereum-era innovation, co-creating Bitcoin Magazine in 2011 and helping found Ethereum in 2013 where he led Swiss legal and business infrastructure during the pivotal pre-sale. He served as Editor-in-Chief, Chief Innovation Officer and Vice-President of the Ethereum Foundation before focusing on AKASHA, a project exploring a permanent, privacy-respecting web for social expression and creative perpetuity.
