In the book, you’ll find discussions of the challenges and opportunities for institutions awaiting the arrival of the Web3 space; how old Western central powers are struggling to keep up with the digital currencies of the East; and why our voices will matter as consensus-driven tribes converge to form DAOs. You’ll also discover the potential of blockchain as a pivotal engine for driving the metaverse economy and transforming contemporary web infrastructure into a decentralized network of free trade and social interaction governed by users themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author covers topics that include: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe potential institution of a smart treasury in a digital economy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe convergence of metaverse infrastructure with decentralized finance, creating a virtual world of open finance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse cases for government-backed digital tokens in a variety of industries, including education, healthcare, and banking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSocial interactions and commerce tied to Soulbound-identity, A.I. technology, archeological revelations, de-dollarization, and the rising Global South\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn essential and one-of-a-kind resource for business leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, investors, and finance professionals, \u003ci\u003eThe Web3 Era:\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNFTs, the Metaverse, Blockchain and the Future of the Decentralized Internet \u003c\/i\u003ewill also benefit technology enthusiasts, digital marketers, and digital transformation specialists who seek to gain invaluable insights into the future of technology and finance, as well as anyone who believes that we are in need of a new system of governance for a better tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Rise of the DAOs 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKing for a Day 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDoes Your Vote Really Count? 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat a Wonderful, Trustless World 10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy the First DAO Had to Fall 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew-Age Tribes 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 When the World Becomes Your Village. . . 19\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen We Left Gold Behind. . . 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Corruption of Trade 30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDecentralized Trading, Reputation Tokens, and the Death of the Irresponsible\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInfluencer-Marketer 32\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCan’t Buy Me Love. . . 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 The New Centralization 39\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWho Owns the Fed? 42\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTo Teach the World to Sing in Perfect Harmony 46\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCentral Bank Digital Currencies and Data Collection 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIs Anything Real Anymore? 51\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYou Can’t Always Get What You Want. . . 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Tower of Babel 2.0 61\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLost in Translation 66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Language of Progress 68\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Byzantine Generals Problem 72\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCreating Consensus and Spreading It 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Antichrist is Coming 77\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Soul Beyond Face Value 81\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDigital Gangsters’ Paradise 86\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Angry Face Algorithm 91\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt’s a Long Road From Rakhine 95\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next 98\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYour Soul Defines You 100\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Back to Africa 105\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe are Family?
