Imagine that I’m a happy owner of an NFT. Done? Ok!

To start off…

Do you know how to count from 1 to 10?

As a growth mindset student seeking an entry level internship/career opportunity in web 3.0, it can be challenging to get your foot in the door without a college degree. I believe many companies are missing out on exceptional talent that spends hours day and night soaking up knowledge on the space only to get passed on for college credentials. I recently left college to pursue my purpose in web 3.0, with only my exceptional skills in finance and trading and understanding of web 3, crypto and blockchain. I knew taking this considerable leap would only benefit me in the long run as I didn’t waste any time and got straight to business. College has its perks as I did learn valuable social skills that elevated my social and emotional IQ, furthermore I knew a college degree wasn’t going to serve me much use, but enough about me.

What if all my skills suddenly faded away? What would i do differently if i got back 2 years ago without any blockchain skills?

Running a blockchain node has been a wish since I understood the principle of a blockchain — to actually be part of the network, not just a community member.

The last few months has seen me deep in the rabbit hole of Web 3.0, particularly NFTs and blockchain basics. I’m a lifetime learner and get particularly excited when I can apply newfound knowledge to my lifestyle. The impetus that spring-boarded me into the Web 3 space was two-fold: up-skill my Digital Project Manager/Producer abilities to move into a new digital space for work opportunities, and I figured it can be a new channel for (my Partner), Sculptor Michael Binkley, to expand his creativity and increase his collector-base.

In 2022, with over 103,000 NFT collections trading worldwide, only 1,252 have surpassed 1K+ ETH in trading volume. There’s a reason why only 1.2% of projects have succeeded. A recent tweetstorm by azf.eth uncovered some important takeaways as to why so few projects have made it past a cool idea.

Web 3.0 has become something of a buzzword lately, in the wake of blockchain and metaverse. Yet, everyone has their own idea of what exactly Web 3.0 is. In this post, I want to explain what the three main developments are. How they will fundamentally change the Internet forever. And whether Web 3.0 will be able to fix the shortcomings of Web 2.0.
