1Chelsea Rustrum

TEDxBoulder · "The Future of Blockchain — Bridging the Sharing Economy" · 70K+ views

Chelsea Rustrum's TEDx talk connects blockchain technology to the sharing economy, exploring how decentralized systems can redistribute ownership and value. Her unique angle: she came from the sharing economy (author of "It's a Shareable Life") and saw blockchain as the missing piece for true shared ownership. The talk resonates because it's not about crypto speculation — it's about economic justice and community.

Talk themes: Shared ownership · Value distribution · Platform cooperativism · Future economies
