Web 3 With Paris Marx

When the internet started to take off, it was supposed to democratize information. Now everything’s owned by a handful of mega-corporations. Can Web 3 decentralize the internet? Do you have to learn what a Blockchain is? We talk to Paris Marx of the Tech Won’t Save Us podcast about Web 3.0, which some are saying will lead to a more secure, private, and decentralized internet. But others see it as a buzzword, and worry about the environmental and societal impacts of running social networks, game marketplaces, and currencies on the blockchain.
