Hi @bsky.app!

I'm Carsten, a physicist and entrepreneur. I love #decentralized #identity, KYC, DPPs, compliance, and #circular #economy solutions. Also a WEF Fellow.

Born at 329.43 ppm CO2, passionate about #ESG and swimming! 🌊

Let’s connect & build a sustainable future. #Science #AI

The #EUBW is a make-or-break moment for Europe’s digital economy.

If we get it right → straight-through compliance, Industry 4.0 trust, secure data spaces, trusted AI.

If we get it wrong → another decade of fragmentation.

There is a Taliban Proverb:

You have the [outdated] watches, we have the time.

Means Taliban have the endurance to outlast the US troops. What they did.

Wrt to the quantum threat this proverb is even much more to the point.
