    Web 3.0 (Ethereum) is happening, and most people have no idea what it even is.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    You are missing the point. Stop treating blockchain like a currency or a way to do a financial transaction only. Let's say that there is no credit or chargeback ability AS OF NOW - however that can be built because of the logic in ethereum. You know how they do KYC right? They have Compliance...

    Web 3.0 (Ethereum) is happening, and most people have no idea what it even is.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Blockchain is not just 'currency'. The ability for 2 parties to come together with a binding contract without an intermediary creates massive opportunities. As people seem to need examples, I'll provide a few: - Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance is a massively inefficient, manual and...

    Web 3.0 (Ethereum) is happening, and most people have no idea what it even is.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Nobody particularly cares about bitcoin. People are interested in the possibilities that it offers. If you read up on ethereum, you will see that the main difference between bitcoin and ethereum (grossly simplified) is that usage of 'smart contracts'. You can effectively apply logical statements...

    Code Ownership

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Don't worry about the bears on the road. That's a dutch saying that means that you should not focus on all the things that could go wrong. Instead, focus on the opportunities. Outsourced developers won't be interested in stealing your idea. If you can find an outsourced developer to create the...

    How did you escape the slowlane?

    SLOWLANE 
    This is key. You need to have a mental roadmap on how to get from A to B and spend every working day on progressing towards that "final destination" (only to realize that the final destination will always change, but that's a different story ;-). We only ever hear of the "rags to...

    Need Feedback - AdStockpile, buy and sell ad space from influencers
