That's why we've had the development of decentralized identifiers and verifiable credential attestations because of the good folks at the World Wide Web Consortium, which is the same body that approves the rules of the Internet. ◆ In the short term, we're like Jeff Bezos selling books on Amazon. Because the short term is that we have to supercharge, some type of sticky use case here and now in Web3, I expect to see more creative applications in the near future.Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the visionary mind behind Root Protocol and the future of Web3! ---Connect with us and our Community! 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/EdgeofNFT 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/edgeofnft 🧳 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/edge-of-nft-podcast 👥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/edgeofnft 🥾 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/EdgeOfNFT 🕹 Discord: https://discord.com/invite/WJaXwUpxuX 🤖 Follow our AI podcast: https://edgeofai.xyz---This is not financial or tax advice.
