Chris’ opinion on joining IOTA:

“Once I discovered IOTA and read the white paper, I realized its obvious potential to fully overcome all current limitations of blockchains. Beyond that, the applications of the Tangle to ensure data integrity, together with Masked Authenticated Messaging are on top of my interests. I truly enjoy working together with the IOTA Foundation on meaningful projects and I’m looking forward to contributing to this great vision.”
