Blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that records transactions in blocks that are linked using cryptography. It allows transactions to be recorded and distributed but not altered, making it possible for users to establish trust without the need for a central authority. Potential applications include digital identity, tracking supply chains, and facilitating peer-to-peer payments without intermediaries. While businesses are beginning to pilot uses of blockchain, widespread adoption will require addressing issues like scalability and determining how it can transform existing processes.

It also presents predictions around areas like SaaS companies focusing on efficiency, the role of climate software in the energy transition, the emergence of multiple "pillar" AI companies, and the rapid adoption of large language models across SaaS applications. The document is an annual report from Bessemer Venture Partners analyzing major developments and forecasting areas of opportunity.
Blockchain is a decentralized database that maintains a continuously growing list of records called blocks. Each block contains transaction data and a link to the previous block. The first block is special as it has no preceding block. Blocks are linked through cryptography, forming a chain. Miners process transactions by solving complex math problems to find new blocks and receive rewards. The first application was Bitcoin, solving the double spending problem without a central authority. Other applications include Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, and SolarCoin. Key variables that impact the blockchain include block size, header size, and transaction size.
Blockchain technology plays a key role in the development of the metaverse in several ways:
1) It allows for data trust and reliability by providing a secure and decentralized record of transactions.
2) Blockchain ensures data security and decentralization by storing data across many nodes.
3) Smart contracts facilitate interactions and regulate relations between participants in the metaverse.
4) Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) will be essential for proving ownership of digital assets in the metaverse.

DeFi is decentralized finance that relies on blockchain technology rather than central financial institutions. It provides financial instruments like lending and exchanges through decentralized applications. Popular examples include MakerDAO, which has a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, and Uniswap, which is an automated market-making exchange. Other innovations in DeFi include NFTs, which are unique digital assets representing items like art, and distributed autonomous organizations that allow protocols to be governed by token holders. While many current DeFi projects may not last, the core ideas of decentralization and blockchain technology underlying DeFi are likely to persist.
Both 2021 and 2022 have been hallmark years in all things Web3, crypto, and blockchain. The market has dramatically expanded - we’ve seen new highs and some sobering lows alongside extraordinary and constant innovation. Here at Vayner3, we’ve grown from a small group of passionate crypto- natives to an end-to-end Web3 consultancy with 25+ enterprise clients across CPG, Retail, Fashion, Automotive, and Tech. Recent events have certainly surfaced clear bad actors and put the space in the spotlight for the wrong reasons, but we remain optimistic about our Web3 future. This paper will help explain why.
Web3 is the next evolution of the internet, consumer behavior, and culture powered by blockchain technology. Our definition of Web3 includes new technologies - cryptocurrencies, NFTs, DeFi, and the “metaverse” - but it also includes an important cultural and behavioral layer. Over the last 2 years, we have seen a renaissance begin in digital art, fashion, sports, music, and identity. As consumers spend more and more of their time online - and younger generations grow with a more intertwined version of physical and digital realities - we expect today’s fundamentals of emerging Web3 technology and culture to grow exponentially with profound implications.
In this paper, we attempt to dissect the meta Web3 narrative, dive into the data, and identify true signal in a (very) noisy market. We look at what matters most to marketers and operators at large enterprise organizations considering Web3 tech, and we focus on the near-term future. We stay grounded in business and technological realities, and we fully acknowledge that macroeconomic forces and regulatory changes could play a major role in how 2023 unfolds. All things considered, we remain convinced: Web3 is going increasingly mainstream in 2023. Let’s build the future together.

This document discusses the potential for blockchain technology to create positive social change if implemented responsibly, as well as the risks of a dystopian outcome if not guided by ethical principles. It highlights grassroots startups already using blockchain to empower small farmers, certify supply chains, reduce costs for African businesses, and help refugees. However, it also notes the need for a "duty of care" given blockchain's ability to fundamentally transform structures, and that criminals could exploit vulnerabilities to manipulate important institutions without clear ethical guidelines.
Will blockchain emerge as a tool to break the poverty chain in the Global South?eraser Juan José Calderón
This document discusses how blockchain technology could help address economic challenges in developing countries. It begins by reviewing key challenges such as weak property rights, lack of rule of law, and lack of access to finance for disadvantaged groups. It then outlines several potential applications of blockchain that could help with transparency, reducing corruption, lowering costs of property registration, increasing efficiency of international trade, and expanding access to payments and insurance. Examples discussed include blockchain projects for donations, land registry, trade finance, remittances, and microinsurance. The document argues that blockchain has the potential to strengthen institutions and enforcement in developing economies.
This document discusses the potential for cooperative sharing economies and decentralized platforms on blockchain. It proposes "WeHome" as a cooperative home sharing platform built on blockchain that would eliminate commission fees for hosts and guests and be owned by the community through a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). This could disrupt current home sharing platforms by bringing fairness and keeping value within the community rather than extracting it through monopolistic middlemen. The document outlines WeHome's vision, token model, and potential to achieve fast market penetration in Korea and beyond through a unique legal position and focus on quality.
The document discusses cryptocurrencies and their potential impact on the future of banking and finance. It outlines how cryptocurrencies were introduced in 2008 with Bitcoin and how they utilize blockchain technology and cryptography. While Bitcoin remains the largest, many other cryptocurrencies have emerged. Cryptocurrencies promote decentralization and anonymity in transactions. However, they also face issues with volatility, scalability, and differing regulatory approaches among countries. As cryptocurrencies continue to evolve with new technologies, their role in the global economic system is likely to expand significantly with implications for the financial industry.

Innovating in a forever recession by Dinis GuardaDinis Guarda
Innovating in a forever recession by Dinis Guarda
This is a presentation I did based in this article http://www.intelligenthq.com/resources/how-to-innovate-in-a-forever-recession-part-1-defining-the-present-as-forever-recession/
Defining the present as “Forever Recession”
The concept of “Forever recession”, coined by Seth Godin, is particularly relevant to the present world climate and the business challenges we face today. In a fast changing economy and society challenged by innovative disruption technologies the sense of continuous crisis and somehow a “forever recession” makes us wonder about stability and for understanding the basis of macroeconomics and business this is a hard concept.
In essence, we are living in a continuous crisis. And if at a first-hand this concept seems dramatic or pessimistic, I would disagree. In fact, I would say that this is very good for business indeed.
Why? Well, simply because when you are in crisis it forces you to change and adapt faster. Similarly, you will invest more effort in upgrading your knowledge, skills, and focus. When forced into a crisis it is imperative for any business to figure out how to do something unique and discover how people will be able to pay for it, or get enough solutions to get what is really necessary. Crisis can make people more innovative, and productive.
“The Forever Recession (and the coming revolution)…
There are actually two recessions: The first is the cyclical one, the one that inevitably comes and then inevitably goes. There’s plenty of evidence that intervention can shorten it, and also indications that overdoing a response to it is a waste or even harmful…The other recession, though, the one with the loss of “good factory jobs” and systemic unemployment…I fear that this recession is here forever”, from The forever recession by Seth Godin
“A recession is an especially good time for entrepreneurs to build loyal followers,” says Thomas Koulopoulos, founder of strategic business consulting firm Delphi Group and author of The Innovation Zone: How Companies Re-Innovate for Amazing Success.
The Innovation Zone demonstrates an important fact, that most dynamic innovations are not a single stroke of brilliance. Koulopoulos states that in order to deliver new and successful products companies and organisations will need a disciplined, easily-learned business process that includes an organizational process, an “incubator” that supports, nurtures and sustains the practice of turning ideas, and aspirations into breakthrough innovations to deliver final products to an audience.
Individuals and big companies are in a uniquely shifting historical spot. Every business and professional is struggling to achieve branding awareness and attention. And often in community building and networking there are huge challenges to face in reaching the key interlocutors.

Creative destruction versus Creative EvangelisationDinis Guarda
The document discusses the concepts of creative destruction and creative evangelization in the digital age. Creative destruction refers to the process of innovation replacing outdated products and processes, while creative evangelization involves using digital tools to spread information and potentially convert others to new beliefs. The author argues that in today's world of big data and algorithms, creativity may be humanity's means of thriving amid increased complexity, randomness, and "black swan" events. Leaders must learn to effectively manage and create intelligence from vast amounts of integrated data in order to connect emotionally with networks and evangelize creatively.

He argues that with social media and technology, individuals and companies can directly reach audiences without relying on traditional advertising or media. Guarda also examines how the online landscape has shifted from web 1.0 to 2.0 over the past decade, with huge growth in the number of websites and internet users. Finally, he emphasizes the importance of building networks and communities through content curation, storytelling and direct engagement with audiences.
How to manage your social media business profileDinis Guarda
This document provides guidance on how to manage a business's social media profile. It discusses creating and managing profiles on social networks to generate traffic. It emphasizes the importance of understanding a business's brand, audience, competitors and goals. It also stresses the need to listen to conversations, curate and distribute engaging content, and measure results through analytics. The overall message is that social media must be central to businesses and require clear strategies, planning and ongoing optimization.
Web 2.0 and Social Media From Internal to ExternalDinis Guarda
The challenges of managing corporations at a time of web 2.0 and social media.

The document discusses how globalization and excesses of the modern world have led to emotional disorders. Rapid technological advances and increased wealth have created a fragile global system prone to collapse. This complexity and overload of information has challenged traditional notions of truth and left many feeling disconnected. However, globalization also enables unprecedented adaptation and change if societies embrace cultural diversity and focus on self-reflection amid the chaos.

Project Delivery Methodology on a page with activities, deliverablesCLIVE MINCHIN
I've not found a 1 pager like this anywhere so I created it based on my experiences. This 1 pager details a waterfall style project methodology with defined phases, activities, deliverables, assumptions. There's nothing in here that conflicts with commonsense.

Selling software today doesn’t look anything like it did a few years ago. Especially software that runs inside a customer environment. Dreamfactory has used Anchore and Ask Sage to achieve compliance in a record time. Reducing attack surface to keep vulnerability counts low, and configuring automation to meet those compliance requirements. After achieving compliance, they are keeping up to date with Anchore Enterprise in their CI/CD pipelines.
The CEO of Ask Sage, Nic Chaillan, the CEO of Dreamfactory Terence Bennet, and Anchore’s VP of Security Josh Bressers are going to discuss these hard problems.
In this webinar we will cover:
- The standards Dreamfactory decided to use for their compliance efforts
- How Dreamfactory used Ask Sage to collect and write up their evidence
- How Dreamfactory used Anchore Enterprise to help achieve their compliance needs
- How Dreamfactory is using automation to stay in compliance continuously
- How reducing attack surface can lower vulnerability findings
- How you can apply these principles in your own environment
When you do security right, they won’t know you’ve done anything at all!
Blockchain + AI + Crypto Economics Are We Creating a Code Tsunami?

3. WE LIVE NOW IN A BLACK SWAN BLOCKCHAIN, AI CRYPTO
TSUNAMI
THAT IS RADICALLY TRANSFORMING THE WORLD
5. When the Stockton-Darlington
Railway opened in 1825, people
feared the worst: the human body,
surely, wasn't made to travel at
incredible speeds of 30 miles per
hour.
The first president to install electric
lighting at the White House was
Benjamin Harrison in 1891, but he
never touched the light switches
himself, for fear of being
electrocuted. This was a
reasonable fear, given how crude
household electric wiring could be
at the time.
6. Just as electricity changed the nineteenth century AI, crypto, and
Blockchain are changing the twenty-first. Disrupting the
organizational principles that historically have powered the world
economy’s business models infrastructure, these ideas promise to
change the very structure of human interaction. Faster than ever!
7. 1995. The Internet was a mess. No Google. No
Facebook, no method to the madness. It’s
understandable how many may have believed there
wasn’t something in this Internet thing.
2018. Blockchain, ICOs and crypto are a disruptive
powerful mess that touches ID, finance,
governments, politics and centralised models.
What do you believe?
8. Countless innovations have changed our history
and world. History is about change and capacity to
evolve and special adapt. But only a few
innovations have divided history into ‘before and
after.’ In these paradigm shifts, few have cut so
deep into our very ideology, society and economy
as this trinity of technology will in the coming
years. And few have developed so fast and full of
miscomprehension and disagreement.
12. Blockchain crypto - who we are? Maping 100 influencers
(using rightrelevance.com technology)
17. The parallel between commoditisation and digitalisation / tokenisation of the economy
and special new digital models of finance and trading will be critical in this new world.
We can call this new model Crypto Economics / Tokenomics:
WORLD ECONOMY AND A NEW TOKENOMICS MODEL

24. To put things + the global
economy in perspective:
Total crypto market today $470

Total equity market $71 Trillion
Global Economy GDP $80

Global debt over $213 to $300

28. Some critical considerations to look:
• Businesses, governments, regulators and
financial institutions need to consider
decentralised models in order to enhance
industry resilience, integrity and stability
and work in governance structures while
using data driven technology to leverage
this.
• DLT and Crypto Economics models needs
to be at the centre of any government,
financial organisation or regulator and by
chain effect any business.
29. Some critical considerations:
• Find a balance between Technology and
governance – centralised vs decentralised
critical issue to consider
• Focus on users and UI and UX frictionless
needs to be at the heart of business,
healthcare, and financial services industry
and within the sustainable way how to
remain competitive.
30. “The killer app for the blockchain is not tokens,
but it is how to design private economies.
Tokens are just enablers to that.”
William Mougayar
31. Blockchain has a dialectic nature of distributed,
decentralised and centralised. Together with AI and
crypto it is a powerful, and if not well managed,
disruptive tsunami.
In such a scenario one could think there would be a totalitarian new order
and therefore some kind of systems disorder, even chaos or a social-
financial and structure tsunami.
This is somehow the biggest challenge we face as humans and the
inception of blockchain, artificial intelligence and crypto that in many
arenas is operating a new restructuring of the world order.
