So, this is it. I have jumped into the world of decentralization apart from the various cryptocurrencies and have decided to start a blog. What will this blog be about? I have not idea (probably whatever I am into in the world of tech) but as a start I want to talk about my journey with smart contracts.

At the moment, while I am trying to wrap my head around what is capable with with the world of Web3 I am going through the following Udemy course.

I’m 1/3 of the way through the course but what I like about it is that it goes through both a technical/theoretical as well the business side of what the blockchain is and what smart contracts are and how they might be used. The course projects don’t happen until after section 4 but in the meantime I am jotting down ideas I would like to roughly prototype. Some of these include:

• combining the blockchain and drones (flight data recorder)
• a Twitter-like messaging platform (immutable messaging for user accountability)
• redoing my portfolio website to live on the blockchain

Hopefully I can get through the course within another week or so; so far this Web 3 world is new and exciting.
