Internet is Changing and Fast – Hello Web 3.0!

All this while I wasn’t really aware we were on v2.0 of the Internet or the WWW (World Wide Web) until v3.0 came around. And while I really thought its just some protocol and/or a few standards that will have been put into place to pave the way for the new tech i.e faster transmission, better security; Web 3.0 is more than that. It’s all to do with Decentralisation of the Internet.

Up until now it’s always been a Facebook (Meta), Google (Alphabet) or Microsoft behind most of the social, work or communication apps that we use on a daily basis. However by now most of us would be aware of how these applications and companies (mis)use our data and have been selling them to third party organisations or use their ad features and content recommendation algorithms to show us and push us in a specific direction based on the sponsors requirements.

This topic is in itself a blog of its own and I will write one soon however to summarise this has also been a long standing reason to refactor, distribute and decentralise the internet.

Crypto-economics and the Future of Blockchain Economy

Today’s society is on its way to embrace decentralised solutions for human interaction. As we can observe there is a need to develop complex models and frameworks to evaluate the issues facing contemporary societies. The study and application of crypto-economic principles will help in building and preparing the new world to adopt decentralised solutions and evolve the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

The birth of Bitcoin over a decade ago sparked a revolution in the digital world and as of 2019 the jump in the number of cryptocurrencies has been about 2x (jumping from 1,600 to 3,000 worldwide). As of late 2020, countries such as Ukraine, Venezuela and Columbia are among the few that are starting to accept crypto as legal digital currency for daily trade by introducing regulations and enabling businesses and people – it’s happening.

Blockchain – Evolution of Trust in Cryptoeconomies

Trust is one of the most fundamental concepts of any economy. With the world moving towards the use of Blockchains across multiple sectors including digital money, it is imperative that we redefine our understanding of Trust.

Here is a link to my academic whitepaper on “Evolution of Trust in Cryptoeconomies” where I discuss Blockchain, and how trust plays an important role in traditional economics and how trust can be and should be replaced with Mathematical evidences.

Blockchain: What’s all the hype?

By this time I’m sure most of you all must have heard of the buzzword “Blockchain” and “Cryptos” and some random advice on how someone’s friend of a friend made like thousands or millions of dollars. “Crypto” or “Cryptocurrency” deserves another blog and hence I’ll leave it out of this one and introduce you to all the might and glory being brought by Blockchain.

I’m very excited about this subject only because I am currently (as of Oct 2021) pursuing a Masters program in Blockchain strategy at RMIT University in Melbourne. Its a relatively new and developing field (although been around for more than a decade) and as it touches technology, finance, economics, law and broadly several other areas, it leads me to believe that this is a technology is worth learning and applying based on viability in areas of interest.
