S3 E12 | Let's Talk About Mental Health in Web3 w/Satvik Sethi

On this episode of Rehash we sat down with Satvik Sethi, Co-founder and CEO of Joincircle, a social media platform for web3. Satvik has been a mental health advocate since he was in middle school when he became the go-to person in his class to talk to when peers were struggling with mental health. He carried this passion for mental health advocacy with him through college and eventually found himself continuing to do so in the web3 space.

It’s no secret that those of us who work in and engage with the industry are susceptible to burnout, regardless of market conditions. Satvik addresses this and explains the importance of mental health in general, and specifically how it applies to the web3 space. We discuss the value of open conversation around politics and agree that removing politics from web3 is impossible, as much as we’d sometimes like to. Rather, we should (kindly) embrace sharing the opinions we have in order to move the space forward. 

We switch gears to talk about SocialFi (which if you haven’t heard of it, don’t worry Satvik has you covered) and we discuss the “ultimate web3 social media platform,” Joincircle. Satvik shares his views on progressive decentralization and sufficient decentralization, saying it’s important for a project to start out centralized in order to be productive, but should still have its sight set on ultimately decentralizing and giving back to the community. 

During our talk, we also touch on the topics of interoperability, fundraising, and ever-present FOMO.
