Mike Carson, founder of Spaces Protocol, is revolutionizing digital identity with a decentralized system on Bitcoin that empowers user control. As the owner of Friendster.com, he’s planning a reboot to give users ownership of their data. Previously, Carson founded and exited Park.io, co-founded WizeHive, which hit $10 million in revenue and managed three ICANN-accredited registrars. An early Bitcoin advocate, he’s been active in the community since 2013, running one of the first Lightning nodes and pioneering real-world Bitcoin transactions.
