Karen New

Karen New is a serial technopreneur born in Singapore. She is an advocate of a minimalist lifestyle and fan of Marie Kondo. Her mantra in life is "With less and tidiness, we have room for joy", With knowledge, we have the power to change".

She discovered Ethereum in 2016 and wrote the first book call "New Assets - Ride on the cryptocurrency wave!" in plain laymen language aiming to get more people to build a portfolio of assets. 3 years later, she challenged herself to create a comics series on the impact of the Blockchain technology to our life. After sharing with her 7-year-old nephew, she realised an "organic crypto generation" (OCG) is brewing. Children do not have to under learn, they absorb more readily and they also associate and think differently. For example, when she shared about what is Mining, her nephew replied: "l mine in Minecraft too".

The comics are under a label Wish I Knew Comics. It includes stories of what she wishes would have learned when she is young. The first series being "2030" which talks about the impact of the blockchain technology to our life. She wrote it because she hopes that the love for parents to have happy kids will take the first step to understand this technology that is going to change the way we work and live. After reading this series, she hopes that parents will not stress children to be academically capable but to take care of their mental wellness. In the near future, many aspects of our lives are automated with Artificial intelligence and smart contracts. Decentralization may bring a more balanced and community-driven economy where we can enjoy minimum income with our daily activities.

Life is beautiful and less stressful.
