One of the most well explained presentation I have across pertaining to web 3.0

[bingsteens]

now this video only has 12 thousand views and I hope people will look back on this and think I wish I was there in the beginning

[kingsjfk]

For a few months now I have been searching tirelessly for information on how to start investing. I even payed $1000 for a course that I now regret. It appears that there is no structured guidiance for beginners on how to get started in this realm. I've come across several investors making well over $250k/annum and would be grateful if anyone on here could provide insights on how to get started, identify potential stocks, when to make an entry, exit etc.

You know how it can be hard to scale a web app with traditional web technologies? Well now instead of sending a request to your local database instance, imagine sending the same request to a remote network and relying on a group of people to reach an algorithmic consensus to make the same request and then send it back to you. Why in the world would you ever do that though, unless you like burning money. You might as well keep the traditional web stack, and just set some money on fire ( That would at least save you the time of learning a completely alien framework to code in).

[DigitalTokenTechnology]

Appreciate you giving some insight into the topic

[p.w.little]

Great work John, this video will age like fine wine.

but the cost of cryto transaction is even higher than any other payment gateway. You need to lower the transaction cost and improve the speed. Not mentioning you still need to push government to accept it.

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[renzodandrea]

A very good landscape to learn about the potential of web3. Yet, an innovation comes to real life and adoption when also gives a stable financial framework that rewards a diverse workforce. This is not in web3 the case at all.

[Gabriella-ld]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[aasthasharma]

I have one question.. Why would i pay for a song in the future if i can listen it free today. Why would we migrate to web3 knowing that we have to pay more there. Also. What will happen to the advertisement business. As in Big giants sell data to small companies that consequently help them to scale. How will the small companies find there right audience. Or Big Tech Giants have to buy each of the people's history data [Bitcoin] in order to make a business out of it? [I am just curious kid... not taking any sides.]

[huntergulledge]

I’ve got something in the works. I can attest, there’s lots of room for innovation in Web3. More than people realize (yet).

You lived in the dorm through your senior year of college and you can recall exact conversations from your freshman year? This is another crypto bro w buzzwords.

[janagush]

I don’t know if its good to increase the velocity of money with the current inflationary period going on. Currently (after 2018) the velocity of money is 1.2 (and rising), while historically was around 2 (up to 2008). Imagine the recent price hikes on a velocity of 2 😂 However its an interesting idea if it happens on a gold standard.

A Web 3 company also making marks is Sportsicon

[weiyehlee]

I don't bet against innovation; however, I would always bet against a scam.

[Juck]

Wow, awesome speach, I want to be like u in the future.
