Web3 has been a little bit of a meme at times. It's felt like we're in inside tech circles where people are like, you know, what is a real Web3 use case? "I see computers as the computer the bicycle of the mind," he says. 'They can take things that humans are already great at and help them kind of accelerate and flourish'

Welcome to Chain Reaction, where we unpack and explain the latest in crypto news, drama and trends, breaking things down block by block for the crypto curious.

For this week’s Tuesday episode where we chat with a web3 expert, we’re playing a recording of our discussion live on stage with a16z GP Chris Dixon that took place at Disrupt last month. We chatted with Dixon about:

Why a16z backed controversial WeWork founder Adam Neumann
Where he’s seeing opportunity across the web3 landscape in this bear market
