Frankly, if you're still dismissing Web3 as just another crypto fad, you're making a monumental mistake. That shift is on—and it’s moving fast. By 2025, Web3 will not be a niche experiment; it’ll be a baseline expectation. Ignore it, and get ready to see your competitors chow down on your...
Are we really prepared to cede our future to algorithmic oligarchs? I think not. We’re standing at a precipice. One of those paths takes us to a hyper-centralized future—a dark dystopian place where a few tech giants own and operate every aspect of our lives. The possibilities that Web3 brings...
The real promise of Web3, particularly when it comes to NFTs, has always been about decentralization. Restoring agency to the makers, removing the intermediaries, and building a genuinely democratic digital economy.
