**David Casey**  David's work has touched crypto & climate for over a decade, and his passion is working at the ecosystem level to engineer systemic change. He ran his first eco-startup, **NuMundo**, from 2013-2020, connecting tens of thousands of travelers to experiences at ecological regeneration hubs around the world. In the blockchain industry, he's worn a number of hats, including on the founder/CEO side, corporate, philanthropic/public goods funding, event production (conferences, developer residencies, and hackathons), a sprinkle of VC, and ecosystem incubation.  He is a 4x founder and helped scale another company to 8 digits revenue, in addition to advising three growth-stage companies. His work has centered around fundraising, movement-building, and leveraging blockchain technology for socioeconomic transformation. In 2013 he discovered the first real-world use case for blockchain technology as applied to his startup at the time - nearly instantaneous, nearly-free, fully permissionless p2p cross-border payments anywhere in the world - “email for money”. The first time he deployed a blockchain-based asset or token was on Bitcoin’s Colored Coins Protocol in 2015.  David has also worked in the humanitarian and non-profit sectors, led the production of conferences and festivals in over 10 countries, and has spoken publicly in 25 countries.
