Popping the Web3 Bubble | SXSW 2023

Great conversation. I was a little thrown when Molly said she doesn't see decentralizing projects as a part of what is called Web3. Granted it is 100% a marketing term but when I came across the term it was used to refer to all or any decentralizing project. Anyway, thankfully the term is passe so it's a moot point.

Excellent insights! THANK YOU so much for sharing!

We must give Molly credit even as a person who does not talk to primary sources like 'real' journalists that she asked SBF about his potential arrest on the day he was arrested.

That was a wonderful interview, to hell and back. Thank you.

What's her website? Why the url isn't in the description? Isn't her website based on web3 her claim to fame or what she's known for?

Great interview!

Is SXSW something other than a music festival???

Great interview and a lot of insights.
Thanks for sharing.

To be honest nothing substantial in this discussion as a take away. There are fundamental principles for which Web 3.0 was conceptualized. She is a critic. But a good critic must have in-depth understanding of the subject and able to contribute to make it right.

Lacks logical reasoning and sounds like she doesn't really know what a blockchain actually is.

Web3?
More like Ponzi2!

Great content glad it was recorded. I just subscribed to the Molly's newsletter now. Looking forward to attending my 1st SXSW this year.

So far no one was able to give me a convincing answer “why” we need crypto. Calling blockchain tech as web3 is simply grandstanding and a marketing gimmick. The real blockchain use cases are very few and far between.

Most “legit” crypto use cases are for illegitimate reasons. This libertarian excuse that’s the government is stealing your money is old and tiring.

This is a very important voice.
