Evan McFarland

Evan’s official background is in facilities and marine engineering in which he holds an accredited BE degree and an USCG unlimited tonnage engineers license. Unofficially, Evan is a crypto degen specialized is in the design of token economic and blockchain governance models. Evan is the cofounder and active governance architect of FP DAO, host of the Internet Computer Report podcast, and has served as an advisor to several blockchain startups, actively so at Civol Media, InfinitySwap, and a few private startups.

Evan believes the middleground between Big Tech and Crypto has never been adequately described, and that it is a place with a treasure trove of fundamental truths about the Internet's future. He spent the last several years exploring this territory. Through synthesizing findings from hundreds of widely dispersed computer science experts, Evan authored Blockchain Wars: The Future of Big Tech Monopolies and the Blockchain Internet, which answers deep-seated questions about Internet technologies that adept technologists never even think to ask. Within the first year of it's release, Blockchain Wars sold more than 5,000 copies and is already undergoing translations in 5 languages through foreign publishers.

Evan's dream is to see the Big Five tech companies lose majority market share in their respective domains to decentralized alternatives so he could retire from tech-heavy blockchains and shift focus towards his other passion: the study of ecology, plant medicines, as well as the battle to decentralize Big Pharma and Big Government.
