Web 3, as we have covered in previous articles, is essentially a blockchain-based internet. It adds the dimension of ownership and decentralization to the internet that we already know, but more importantly, it is an internet that is readable and navigable by a machine, and it is a whole new frontier. What is, in essence, […]
The cryptocurrency industry is young and constantly changing. It is a whole new front, the wild west of the internet, barely regulated and unchecked.
