Web3 and Blockchain

Dive into the digital future with HKU SPACE's exhilarating online talk show on "Web3 and Blockchain: Unraveling the Internet's Next Frontier." As technological advancements redefine our world, the leap from Web2 to Web3 signifies a monumental shift towards a decentralized digital ecosystem. Blockchain technology is at the heart of this transformation, enabling a more secure, transparent, and user-empowered internet experience.

 

Embark on a journey through the evolution of the internet, from its inception in 1991, with the foundational use of Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), to the interactive platforms of Web2. Today, Web3 revolutionizes how data is owned, shared, and monetized, ensuring that creators and users retain control over their digital footprints without sacrificing privacy or depending on intermediary services. This paradigm shift paves the way for decentralized finance (DeFi), cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and smart contracts, heralding a new era of financial innovation and independence.

 

Amidst this technological renaissance, Bitcoin's price recently surged past $69,000, setting a brief new record and spotlighting the volatile yet irresistible allure of cryptocurrencies. As the market recovers from Bitcoin's retreat from its peak, the conversation around digital currencies and their impact on the financial landscape has never been more relevant.

 

Join us for a captivating session that delves deep into the essence of Web3 and Blockchain. Discover how these technologies are reshaping the internet and the opportunities they present for the future of finance, privacy, and online interaction.
