Key Takeaways:
- As a media company, we're so focused on developing. Doing our work for the benefit of the community. It's the perfect place to be to both consume and report on, to engage in, to discuss Web3 technologies and if we do our job really well then both sides benefit. - Bo
- I don't think we're headed in the right direction. I think there really are sceptics are beyond sceptical. They are becoming really quite effective in trying to beat back the Web3 economy and blockchain technology and the various crypto tokens that are part of that. In the end, will those sceptics win? - Bo
- We not only have to embrace the technologies, but we have to embrace the values behind those technologies. - Bo
- The majority of the world's people have the freedom where they can choose to work with these technological innovations. Now, of course, the regulatory climate in the US does create some hurdles for people, but people can still hold cryptocurrencies and get involved in these projects. - Bo
