Hi 👋, I'm calvadev!

Commerce cowboy, free market maximalist, nurture capitalist, and founder/CEO of Shopstr Markets.

In the age of automation, human inputs become the most valuable resource in determining the quality of mechanical outputs. The knowledge, care, and passion that goes into the creation of a product or service is what makes it truly valuable. The daily inputs that we put into our work are what make us who we are. Key in that, the daily inputs we put into our bodies, mind, and soul are the foundation, which is why I see open food access and the fostering of local circular economies as the most important problem to tackle in our world today. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't eat food or engage in commerce on a daily basis.

Information yearns to be free, and the most impactful and high-signal form of information is how our money flows. How it flows through our world, how it flows to our communities, and how it flows to the inputs that go towards supporting our lives. How our money flows and how we allow it to flow have a direct impact on the structure and development of our society. The more we can decentralize and democratize the flow of money and commerce, the more we can shift the world towards a future of our own creation.

The building blocks are there, we just need to put them together.

Being a commerce cowboy wasn't a phase, it's a lifestyle
