In this episode of Beyond the Code, Yitzy Hammer sits down with JP Thor, the visionary founder behind ThorChain. From his roots in remote Australia to his career as a fighter and bomber pilot, JP shares his remarkable journey into decentralized finance and the creation of ThorChain, a groundbreaking cross-chain liquidity protocol.
JP reveals the behind-the-scenes challenges of building ThorChain, including his decision to remain pseudonymous as “Lina” during the project’s early days. Inspired by Norse mythology, ThorChain evolved with a unique mission to decentralize finance. Today, it’s transitioning to full community governance through a concept he calls “planned obsolescence.”
JP also shares insights into the future of decentralized finance, envisioning an ecosystem where bots and humans interact on a global scale, with ThorChain as a core protocol. We dive deep into his “Acell” philosophy on AI and accelerationism, exploring the future of crypto exchange and digital assets.
On the personal side, JP talks about his global helicopter expeditions, sharing stories from his travels through challenging terrains. We also explore his theory on the memetic power of Israel and how its geographical stability enabled it to become a hub of cultural and philosophical development.
