DeCent People Podcast With ConsenSys Head Economist Lex Sokolin
Lex Sokolin talks about the differences between Moscow and New York City from a child’s perspective, always wanting to be on the forefront of financial technology and the hopes he has for a decentralized web3 experience.
Lex Sokolin is the head economist at ConsenSys, the Ethereum developer studio created by Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin. Sokolin came to the U.S. from Russia when he was 10 years old and has long been drawn to innovations that push financial technology. He was at Lehman Brothers when it failed at the height of the financial crisis in 2008, which taught him deep lessons about the ephemerality of institutions. While it took him some time to grasp crypto, he's all in now and is leading efforts at ConsenSys that focus on token economics, DAO strategy and treasury management.
