About

I started out in radio, then worked at a magazine where I made music CDs that went on the cover, and wrote about art. I've also worked as a communications consultant, podcaster, product manager, and entrepreneur. Now I spend my time making things with my friends. Our current project is Lettuce where we're trying to improve the world of money. Before that I was part of the teams that started 22seven, Curve, and Luno. I also wrote a book called In Math We Trust. You can see the other things I'm doing and have done over here.

Book

Money is the most important human invention after language. It provides tokens for the faith we have in each other and society, but that trust has been violated repeatedly throughout history by the middlemen and authorities we rely upon in order to transact with each other.

Now a new kind of money promises to rescue us from these tyrants and return us to the roots of money, without relying on third-parties.

Instead of putting our faith in banks and governments, we can trust math.

In this book Simon looks at the evolution of human trust that not only explains how cryptocurrencies work and the origins of Bitcoin, but how you can use these networks to take control of your own financial universe.

Buy it on Amazon or at all good book stores.
