Episode notes
Internet Evolution and Blockchain's Role
- The internet has evolved through three eras: read, rewrite, and read-write-own.
- Blockchains empower users with ownership and control, unlike Web2's corporate networks.
AI and Blockchain: Centralization vs. Decentralization
- AI centralizes power due to data and capital requirements, while blockchains decentralize it.
- This contrast creates a crucial balance, promoting broader participation and innovation.

- Blockchains constrain these rates, benefiting creators and users.
