About Alastair Caithness:
Alastair Caithness based out of San Diego is a recognized leader in the development of asset-backed, blockchain tokens. Originally from Scotland, Caithness is CEO of Ziyen Energy, a technology-driven company focused on the tokenization of energy infrastructure assets. Ziyen Energy currently owns interests in various energy assets throughout the United States. Under Caithness’ leadership, in 2019 Ziyen Energy launched ZiyenCoin, an energy infrastructure token utilizing blockchain technology as a catalyst to facilitate the transition in energy from carbon-based fuels to renewable energy. In 2020 Caithness was appointed as Chief Blockchain Policy Advisor for the Libertarian Party to develop a future economy based on digital assets through tokenization of the government’s assets/substantial resources into a usable currency which will be distributed to all American citizens. This distribution will level the economic playing field for all Americans and will serve as a form of reparations and basic income for US citizens who have struggled to achieve economic liberty. Caithness monetary policy is referred to as ‘Tokenized Asset Distributions’ not ‘Universal Basic Income’, with the concept of developing a future crypto-based economy, which he believes could “finance a level of free healthcare, free education, and a form of basic income” at a scale that has never before been seen.
