#210: Intro To The Fundamentals Of Web3

Changing The Story with Lana Dingwall

I am getting a lot of people in my dms saying they are very interested in learning more about web3 - blockchain - nfts - crypto, but have no idea where to start.

They are telling me they grasp that there is potential in this emerging space but truly do not understand most of it.

If you fall into this category, that is totally okay and let me tell you why.

You do not need to understand on a fundamental level how this technology works, you only need to know how to use it.

Most of you are probably reading this email on your phone. If you listen to my podcast or follow me online, these forms of interacting with me are while using your phone.

I am a big apple user - so I use an iphone. The smartphone was invented by apple and do you know what made it not only crush their competition in the cell phone industry, but also ushered in a whole new era of technology….. iOS.

Do you know how iOS works? I absolutely do not. I just know that without it everything we do on our phones would not be possible. Apps are built on top of iOS - uber + IG as an example exist because of iOS.

Something that you and I use every single day is built using a technology that we don’t understand but are able to use. It birthed a new era of business.

Blockchain (which is what will make the future of the internet different than it is today) is the foundation that many new applications and kinds of businesses are being build upon. Much like iOS this will usher in a new era of business AND better yet - this time we actually own our data (iOS tracks and sells our data because apple owns it not us).

This is just one of the many breakdown examples I give on this weeks podcast episode.

If you’re interested in learning more about web3 using examples that you are already familiar with to help build you knowledge, listen here.

If you are able to understand the basics, there are endless possibilities around what you could build, create or how you could integrate what you’re doing now into this.

In the coming years we won’t even think about how we’re using blockchain technology, the same way we don’t think about iOS software while using our phones.

The ways to use this technology though are only just beginning and it's a time to make your mark if you want to.

As always feel free to hit reply if you have any questions and you’re always welcome to book in a call if you want to brainstorm ideas.

Keep being awesome my friend.

Until next week,

Lana
