The costs of the paper check system – both in time and money – have been with us for centuries. But there's a new technology called blockchain that looks as though it could provide a solution, with an online ledger that's universally accessible and completely transparent. Blockchain also can't be hacked or altered and costs next to nothing. That may sound too good to be true, but a look back at how the paper check system was improved by the rise of digital money demonstrates that what sounds like a revolution today is often commonplace tomorrow. And blockchain may be the key to unlocking the future of money.

Web3: Charting the Internet's Next Economic and Cultural Frontier by Alex Tapscott An essential introduction and guide to navigating the next Internet revolution—everything from the metaverse and NFTs to DAOs, decentralized finance, and self-sovereign identity—from the co-author of the international bestseller Blockchain Revolution. The Web, and with it the Internet, are entering a new age. We've moved from the “Read-only Web,” which had little functionality for interacting with content, to the “Read-Write Web,” which offered seemingly endless collaborative opportunities, from sharing with our favorite people to shopping at our favorite brands. But the profusion of cyberattacks, data hacks, and online profiling have left many of us to view digital life as a Faustian bargain in need of a major rethink. That rethink is Web3, the “Read-Write-Own Web”—a decentralized Internet where individuals own their own identities and can securely trade assets like money, securities, intellectual property, and art peer to peer. Made possible by blockchains, the foundational technology of bitcoin, Web3 promises the biggest shake up of business since the invention of double-entry bookkeeping in the Middle Ages. It is the Internet's new frontier. In Web3, award-winning author and technology investor Alex Tapscott provides a cutting-edge guide to the Internet's next era. Covering everything from the metaverse and non-fungible tokens to DAOs, decentralized finance, and self-sovereign identity, this indispensable, forward-thinking book describes the building blocks and often hidden technologies that will be foundational to our cultural and economic progress.

Today's podcast is a throwback to last year's keynote from the Brand Minds Romania conference. I explore the transformative potential of blockchain technology. I unpack the concept of digital ownership, highlighting the shift from traditional centralized systems to decentralized ones. I emphasize the importance of understanding and embracing NFTs, especially as the younger generation is being trained to accept this digital shift. I also predict the emergence of decentralized social networks, urging everyone to prepare for this inevitable change. Lastly, I stress the foundational role of accountability in achieving happiness, encouraging self-reflection and responsibility. This talk is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of technology, digital ownership, and personal growth, offering insights that could change your perspective on the digital world. I hope you enjoy it and be sure to let me know your thoughts on Twitter @garyvee!
What is Blockchain? What is it for? How does it work? What kind of impact can it have on our societies? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Don Tapscott in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. One of the world's leading authorities on the impact of technology on business and society, Tapscott is currently Co-Founder & Executive Chairman of the Blockchain Research Institute. He is also an Adjunct Professor at INSEAD, and Chancellor Emeritus of Trent University in Ontario where he served as Chancellor 2013-2019. Tapscott is a member of the Order of Canada, and has authored 16 books, including the global best seller Blockchain Revolution: How the Technology Behind Bitcoin and Other Cryptocurrencies is Changing the World, co-authored with his son Alex. He has coined many concepts that are part of the business lexicon today and is sought by corporate and government leaders globally. In this episode, Tapscott describes what he calls the “second era of the digital age”, and the Blockchain's role in it. He also discusses the potential of a Web 3.0, in which we can own and monetize our own data. Tapscott looks at the current stage of evolution of artificial intelligence as a form of generative AI, and the impact of the internet and modern technology on our societies. He also explains the importance of privacy in the digital realm, and examines the potential “dark side” of all these new technologies. Finally, Tapscott advocates for the need for a “social contract” for the digital age, in a conversation well worth listening to.

The revolution began in 2008, but no one knew it. Over the last 15 years, people with vision have been working behind the scenes to lay the groundwork for a new way of trading. The Blockchain Revolution is upon us. The old markets depended on intermediaries that owned distribution networks to get things moved. Those old ways are no longer necessary. This will be the first of many episodes dedicated to understanding what is coming. Our first guest on this topic will be Todd Ziegler, CEO of TruckCoinSwap. https://www.truckcoinswap.com He is going to help us begin to understand where to begin of our study of the new markets. Blockchain isn't only going to revolutionize trucking. It is going to change EVERYTHING - Energy, Communication, Banking, Finance, Trade and Transportation. We MUST stop being distracted by the people who have a vested interest in keeping us in the old ways. Join us for an exciting new adventure.

The world has cryptocurrency on the brain. And with new coins being released, seemingly, every day, and mammoth losses and gains occurring among the most popular cryptocurrencies, it's no wonder why. And where some see danger in those troughs and peaks, others see opportunity - opportunity not just in the financial gains to be had, but in the blockchain technology behind these digital currencies. Indeed, crypto and blockchain might not just have the potential to diversify investors' asset portfolios, they might actually be poised to completely evolve our financial ecosystem.In this episode, we'll be joined by John Avery, senior strategy director at FIS; Patrick Sells, CIO at NYDIG; and Richard Walker, principal at Deloitte. We'll explore what has caused the surge in popularity of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, and we'll discuss what the long-term impacts of these could be. We'll also look at the potential implications of more widely adopting a decentralized finance model and examine whether crypto and blockchain could herald the demise of cash.We'll also ask: How are financial institutions and the capital markets reacting to crypto and blockchain? What are the drawbacks of a centralized financial system? How are different generations adopting cryptocurrency? Why are everyday savers, as well as high-net-worth investors, attracted to crypto? Could the world be moving away from fiat money do de-fi?
