Web3 – Taxation without Representation

Guest post by Samson Williams For a moment let's imagine “Web3”, whatever you think it is, actually exists. I don't think it exists. Web3 is analogous to a “smart contract”. It is a really cute marketing term most often employed to confuse people and decentralise them from their hard-earned money. But for the purpose of this article, we'll pretend that Web3 (or 5 depending on who is counting) even exists. Now that that is out of the way, here's the real shocker for you. “When you integrate Web3 into Web2, you get Web1” What that means is that users of Web3 still don't own anything. Users of Web3 don't own anything for the same reason that users of Web2 and Web1 don't own anything. In both, users don't own the infrastructure. The internet is actually a vast collection of millions of miles of fibre optic cables that were built, connected and have been maintained by various companies for the last three decades. Roughly 94% of all internet traffic goes through land-based lines, the rest goes through satellites as part of The Space Economy. Meanwhile, the companies that own the plumbing of the internet, guess how they make money? These companies make money very similar to how Simon Property Group makes money. For those of you who don't know, Simon Property Group is the largest owner of Malls in America. Simon makes money by charging stores rent to be in their Malls. So too with Web1. The companies who own the physical infrastructure of the internet (routers, cables, data centres, satellites, etc.) charge businesses to access and use the internet. Turns out that even in cyberspace there are landlords (Google, Amazon, Comcast, etc.) and tenants. What does this mean for users of the “Web3”? It means that users pay to access the Metaverse and Web3 through Web5+ with their data. Data after all is the native currency of the world wide web. Much like going to the Mall is free (minus the gas), so too is going to the Metaverse or Web3. The trick is, to convince users that things are “free” because users have never been entitled to owning their data. Web3 and the “Metaverse” are free because you are the product. But you already knew that. Taxation with Representation Samson Williams said: When you integrate Web3 into Web2, you get the same cables that run Web1. Which means you all pay rent to the cable and satellite owners, who own the infrastructure of the web. Hence why you cannot have a “decentralised” web because someone has to pay for the infrastructure. And to maintain it. Dan Jones replied: Very insightful comment Samson, and had me thinking. I suppose the definition of web3 is more about the decentralisation of where and how data is stored than the physical infrastructure that connects it together. But as a concept, it's seemingly just as pertinent! Samson Williams replied: Dan Jones in Web3 you still don't own your data. Because the folks who own the infrastructure make it “free” by charging you for “your” data. So.yeah. Web3! It's Upton Sinclaire's The Jungle, just in a digital setting. Dan Jones replied: Samson Williams to a certain extent, but the question around ownership is different to infrastructure. You can still have ownership of something but it runs on some kind of infrastructure? I own a car but that doesn't mean I own the road, or that I am even at the mercy of the government.depends on how neo-liberal you'd want to go Samson Williams replied: Dan Jones, it does though mean you're taxed for the road. See, whoever owns the infrastructure collects the taxes. Hence why all the VCs are in a rush to decentralise you from your cash. Talk about taxation without representation. Conclusion Web3 and the Metaverse are just the latest real estate land grab by VCs aimed to set up the online versions of Malls, where humans go to hang out. While they'll tell you that it is free, it is only free because the landlords of the online Malls fundamentally don't believe you have the right to own the data you generate. Your new digital lor...

Have you ever lost 31 million dollars because you didn't think someone would do something both stupid and brilliant? That's what happened to the DeFi protocol MonoX a couple of days ago. In this video I explain, through the use of an analogy (that anyone who has ever bought a bag of potatoes can understand, or indeed Samson Williams) how an eight figure sum was lost to a hacker who thought like a test engineer rather than a software developer. DeFi - it's the gift that keeps on giving. Unfortunately, not to the people you want it to be giving to.

What are the economics of space? Our guest on this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast is George Pullen, Chief economist and Co-Founder of the MilkyWay Economy. George is also the author of "Blockchain and the Space Economy" with co-author Samson Williams. George also teaches in the Columbia University summer program a series on the space industry and space economy. George began his career in banking and alternative markets, but not in the commercial space sector In this interview, host Tom Patton talks with George about topics ranging from how the economics of space began … in his view, with Claudius Ptolemy some 2,000 years ago … to where we might see the space economy in the next 15-20 years. Ptolemy, Pullen explains, developed a theory that the sun, other planets and stars revolved around the Earth. And while we all know NOW that is not true, it did transform chaotic celestial bodies into an ordered system. "And a belief in order is fundamental for humans who want to then go out and pursue economic efforts to manipulate it." It's a much better origin story, he says. George is a free-market economist, teacher, and advisor with twenty years of experience as a strategic, analytical, problem solver. Prior to founding Milky Way Economy, a think tank focused on writing and advising the businesses, technologists and financiers of the Space Economy, he learned his craft serving as an executive, banker, broker, hedge fund trader, economist and lecturer. His areas of market expertise, research, and publishing cover a range of alternative markets and include: healthcare, energy, blockchain, rare earths, derivatives, ESG, trading, defense innovation, AI/ML, crowdfunding and Space Economics. George is driven by a curiosity and passion for convergence, connecting people and ideas across diverse disciplines and finding new questions that need answers. He is a a frequent guest lecturer at colleges and conferences, and a risk advisor for the Global Association of Risk Professionals. He holds adjunct appointments and guest lectures at a number of institutions to include: Columbia University, University of New Hampshire Law, Eisenhower War College, and Johns Hopkins. He is also the Author of the book Blockchain and the Space Economy and host of The Space Economy. On this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast, George offers his insights about whether the money flowing into the space economy has the potential to be a "bubble"; the possible effects of a proposed $4 trillion US Government investment in infrastructure on the economics of space, how rapidly-advancing technology and falling launch costs are moving the market, and; some of the different paths startup and established companies can attract capital investments in their products and ideas. You can find George on LinkedIn, Twitter/Instagram @Pullen4Maine, @MilkyWayEconomy, or @TheSpaceEconomy. His book "Blockchain and the Space Economy" is available from the MilkyWay Economy website.

Ahmed and Faisal sit down with Samson Williams, Partner from Axes and Eggs, in episode 20 of Encrypted. In this episode the trio do a 2018 recap looking at positives, negatives and lessons learnt from the industry. Ahmed starts off with the lessons learnt from this bear market and what a 75% decline in bitcoin actually means. Samson uses examples from his education courses citing that ICOs and STOs are not businesses and how people still fall for selling low and buying high. Samson and Faisal talks about their experiences dealing with banks and how cryptocurrencies should all be about seamless user experiences and a customer service battles. Samson argues that those launching cryptocurrencies, are in fact launching global payment systems. Ahmed questions what 2018 use cases we have seen in blockchain and cites the lack of killer apps not in production as being a factor stagnating the industry. The topic of who’s winning in this market and regulation being put in place is seen as a positive element in this industry as well as citing IBMs hyperledger being the current leaders in deploying blockchain use cases. The case for IBM vs Amazon is also explored as more bigger players are joining this industry. Old lessons of building businesses are brought to surface as the MENA based souq.com example is highlighted as it took them 12 years before Amazon bought them out and thus the same thing should happen in the ICO space. All of the above and more will be on this week’s episode of Encrypted! If you liked what you heard, please do leave us a review on iTunes and the other platforms.
