Could blockchains unseat the tech titans?
Are we on the cusp of a new Internet era? Social media apps based on open public blockchain technology are becoming a reality: they offer a radical new model for sharing content, where users own and control what they contribute. If they take off, they could undermine the dominance of Meta, Google and other tech giants. In his new book, “Read Write Own,” Chris Dixon, one of Silicon Valley’s biggest names in venture capital, argues that this would be a force for good. This week we talk to Dixon and Stani Kulechov from Avara, who is busy building a blockchain-based social platform.
