Social media built on Web3 wants to make the relationship between all stakeholders – creators, users, and the social media platform – more mutually beneficial, and make the presence of a highly extractive middleman obsolete. Web3 social is a fundamentally new approach at re-architecting the traditional Web2 social media stack, where closed databases and opaque algorithms become open networks where users and creators own their data and there are transparent free market dynamics in algorithm and application feature development.Listen to learn more!-------------------------------------------------📰 Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://genesisblockpod.substack.com📣 Subscribe to our Spotify podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6iZTq51...🍎 Subscribe to our Apple podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...🐦 Subscribe to our Twitter: https://twitter.com/genesisblockpod🎵 Subscribe to our TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@genesisblockpod-------------------------------------------------DISCLAIMERNone of this is financial advice.

Commencing in the summer of 2021, NFTs have successfully widened the scope of “crypto” to a much larger audience. The primary reason for this is the technology’s ability to blend media and culture into the existing financial components of blockchain technology.
Given this, NFTs – implemented in their many forms – are meant to be the gateway to help onboard mainstream internet users. Not just the next 10 million, but 1 billion. Thus, it is important to occasionally take a pulse of the market so that we may recalibrate and reassess where we are in the adoption timeline.

The creator economy refers to the rise of individuals or groups who produce media with educational and/or entertainment value, in order to grow and monetise an audience.
This is in contrast to the ownership economy, which refers to the use of Web3 technology to enable participants of a platform, product, or network to gain ownership stakes in said platform, product, or network.
It is the intersection of the two that we discuss today.

As part of Genesis Block's guest interviews series, our third guest is Paul J Lei, a protocol program manager at Gauntlet, one of the premier DeFi and crypto risk simulation platforms.
After having completed his undergraduate studies in Statistics from Harvard University, Paul worked in a couple of TradFi roles at investment banks like Jefferies and Goldman Sachs, where he advised the Financial Services sector, including banks, FinTechs, and hedge funds.
In these jobs, Paul noticed an undercurrent of how DeFi would replace TradFi, and that problems that FinTechs were trying to solve were burdened by legacy infrastructure, whereas crypto was built on a parallel infrastructure. DeFi combined his interests in statistics and computer science, and proved to be a perfect fit for his interests and educational background.

From the point of view of an insider, it may seem as if the Web3 space is moving at warp speed, with a Cambrian explosion of innovation in all directions -- L1s, L2s, infrastructure, NFTs, DeFi, GameFi, and so on.
But the fact remains that the majority of the value on-chain is generated by "crypto money games", with little to no influence on the physical world.
For blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies to really fulfil its potential in a meaningful manner, as an industry, we are going to have to move towards a reality where assets in the physical world interoperate with the on-chain world.
Today, we discuss this very topic -- the tokenisation of real world assets.
