Terminada

I have been a member of the Cardano community since 2020 and run the Terminada stake pool (ticker TERM). I wish to maintain a degree of anonymity regarding my personal life to protect against physical threats and economic coercion. I avoid centralised social media platforms designed to harvest personal data for future exploitation. Instead, I am active on Cardano Forum and Cardano related Matrix chat channels. I will let my written thoughts provide colour for how I will vote on governance issues.

I believe in the right to life, liberty and happiness, freedom of expression, right to hold property, right to equal opportunity, and the right to privacy. These non-exhaustive natural human rights are inalienable. I am a long time supporter of open-source software and I strongly oppose software patents because they restrict individual freedoms, hinder innovation, and stifle creativity. On governance issues I will vote in the direction to best develop Cardano as a financial operating system that protects our natural rights and freedoms.

I do not wish to disclose my specific university degrees, but I have a professional background in information technology, network security, medicine, health, and psychology.
