About this episode
In this week’s News Not Noise Podcast, we glimpse the future of the world wide web. Our guide is Alex Zhang, the mayor of Friends With Benefits, a popular Web3 community. We talk tokens, NFTs, cryptocurrency, blockchain, decentralization and we define the tech jargon as we go.
Zhang explains how the integration of cryptocurrency builds ownership and democracy into the group’s core values from day one. I hope this offers you a way to understand where online community and commerce are headed. Consider it a beginner’s guide.
