Blockchain Won't Save the World

S3E24 Cloud Killer: Storj and the Decentralised Storage Movement w. Ben Golub

Oct 13, 2023

For Web3 and Decentralised Apps (DApps) to reach mainstream, we need a place to store data that isn't just the Blockchain. We need decentralised storage! And Storj has been leading the way since 2014. But there's a twist. Decentralised storage isn't just (only) about enabling Web3...
I'm joined by Ben Golub, CEO of Storj Labs and the former CEO of Docker, who knows a thing or two about scaling technology. And we're going to have a 'full stack' conversation about how, when and if DApps will ever reach mainstream.
In this show we'll be discussing:
- The history of DApps and how they differ from 'traditional' apps
- The importance of Decentralised Storage to scale DApps
- How Storj is differentiated from other solutions (centralised and decentralised)
- Why you shouldn't store everything on a Blockchain
- What more is needed to see wider adoption of Web3
- Advice to anyone looking to build DApps that scale
