What is Web3 And Why Should I Care?

---

Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, even LinkedIn are all gatekeepers for your ideas. Even running your own website typically means using centralised cloud services like Amazon or Microsoft. The promise of "web3" is that the "blockchain", the technology that underlies Bitcoin, will liberate us from the tyranny of Big Tech and put us back in charge of our own content. But is this promise even possible? Will we want it when it happens? And how will all this affect e-commerce, finance, manufacturing, and your business? Join me and my guest Tal Oron (of Wonderbly and GoodDollar) to discuss:

• what the vague term "web3" really means
• how and whether distributed identity and tamper-proof data storage will become must-haves for you and your customers
• how far off the distributed web is and whether we should worry about it now or later
