The first was 3500-word essay on "Blockchain and the United Nations," where I learned of Bitnation and the SDGs. Another was a 1500 word report on blockchain identity, giving me a broad view of the sector. Besides that I've written a few articles considering the architecture, and [historical background](https://medium.com/axiom-tech/hyperledger-indy-the-future-of-decentralized-identity-9de5c2459e4e) of Hyperledger Indy. Throughout that time, I collected a ton of quality information on decentralized id, Hyperledger Indy, and the surrounding ecosystem. -I also [collect resources](http://crypt0library.net) on nearly every subject in crypto, which I'm slowly entering into a database, to power a [web-app](https://github.com/infominer33/Crypto-library) for search, and navigation by tags, etc. Creating these lists has become an essential part of my process as a writer. Check out some of my [other projects](https://github.com/infominer33/awesome-decentralized-id/blob/master/projects.md). +I got into crypto in mid-2017, and my passion for learning and for [collecting useful information](http://crypt0library.net), on any number of related subjects, has only grown over that time. I'm slowly entering those resources into a database, to power a [web-app](https://github.com/infominer33/Crypto-library) for search, and navigation by tags, etc. Creating these lists has become an essential part of my process as a writer.

Decentralized Identity is one of my favorite subjects in tech. However, I have a variety of research interests, and I'm always interested in learning new ways to earn from that research. +Although initially began as a result of freelance gigs, my work on this repository has been a personal investment of time, building my brand as a research consultant, and in support of anyone trying to make sense of the SSI\DID ecosystem.
