Current affairs and political economy are of great interest to me, I've been involved in journalism in Turkey and various political clubs/campaigns throughout my high school and college life. As I spent most of my childhood in Istanbul, developmental economics also excites me as Istanbul is a unique example that portrays development in the modern world. Ambassador fell in love with Threefold ThreeFold combines multiple interests that I possess and synthesises a unique, simple yet revolutionary solution to one of the most common problems of the modern age. ThreeFold indeed combines three of my areas of interest, energy consumption, impact of technology on society, and developmental economics. I am fascinated by the energy sector as I find energy to be power in raw form, and the reduced electricity consumption that the ThreeFold grid provides is relevant in an age of development. I am also excited by the impact of technology on society. The potential that ThreeFold provides by standing up against storage capacity monopolies and offering viable access to storage facilities is crucial in the democratisation of the internet, therefore making new opportunities that emerge more compatible with the needs of our society. Finally, the farming aspect of ThreeFold and the availability of storage and internet access in parts of the world in need will help developing parts of the world catch up with the rest of the world. All in all, I see ThreeFold as an opportunity to expand my knowledge in the aforementioned areas by working actively and gaining experience in the professional field.

Expecting to be father in June. Ambassador fell in love with Threefold So I’m active in the datacenter / renewable energy sector. Next to that I’m an enthusiast about the opportunities that Blockchain can bring us, apart from the transfer of money. I think Threefold is a nice intersection between my working field and interests. In my work I come across a lot of people who are working on projects, where they need to be facilitated with a digital infrastructure like VM’s and Kubernetes. In part we can accommodate them with the necessary services, but services like geo redundancy is something we cannot offer at the moment without the help of a platform like threefold. Next to that it might be an interesting administration and virtualization tool.

+bio: Hi, I'm Jonas De Zitter, fascinated by technology and electronics since I was a teenager. I became an electronics engineer in 2008 and developing firmware, electronic circuits and printed circuit boards ever since. In 2017, I founded cryptoconnect together with Gert De Spiegeleer to explore crypto mining, develop hardware and start hosting the threefold nodes. Since then, I became more and more interested in the threefold project, and started exploring farming possibilities with recovered hardware and joined Gert in the Da Vinci chapter. Ambassador fell in love with Threefold Since the first time I got in touch with threefold, I was fascinated by the idea of building a new decentralized internet with a much lower power consumption. I bought the blockchain node and threefold tokens in 2017, and since then, the project became bigger and bigger to eventually become a complete decentralized solution. The whole idea that big companies own our data and keep track of our behaviour is something that really need to change. People don't realize the consequences of a centralized internet dominated by big companies, and they need to become aware of that. I believe that the threefold project is the first complete ecosystem that can achieve true decentralization in a very efficient way. As a crypto entrepreneur, I'm really convinced that digital coins and tokens have a bright future as an alternative to fiat money, but I realised that the first generation blockchain projects are very power hungry and are not sustainable at all. The TFT and the creation of the gold, coffee and other sustainable tokens cought my attention, en I would be happy to promote them to my customers, friends and family. Once the grid is live and applications are developed, the promotion of and the transition to the threefold grid can start.

+excerpt: Ambassador fell in love with Threefold I'm very passionate and excited about the opportunities of Digital Transformation for our economies, societies and lifes. However it is obvious that the current System is heavily centralized and extremely tuned to the success of a few. ThreeFold Tech and Threefold Foundation are perfectly positioned to fundamentally transform the Status Quo and to better serve future internet demand and to benefit many - not just a few.
