Buzzwords like Blockchain, Crypto, and Web3 are thrown around everywhere on the internet - but do you actually know what they mean? Curious about Bitcoin, NFTs, or why everyone keeps talking about "decentralization"?
We're opening the doors to what some call the next evolution of the internet - a world where you (supposedly) own your data, your money, and your digital identity. No middlemen, no big corporations calling the shots. Just you, your wallet, and a whole lot of hype.
This talk will break it all down, from the basics to the buzzwords, and give you the tools to decide whether Web3 is revolutionary, ridiculous, or somewhere in between.

How cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum work, and why people care.
What Web3 means - decentralization, smart contracts, DAOs, and all that jazz.

Crypto wallets: your passport to Web3 (and how not to lose your life savings).
Why some people think this is the future, and why others think it's a bubble.
Blockchain 101: The tech that powers all of this - immutable ledgers, consensus mechanisms, and why it matters.

Be respectful, ask questions, and don't shill your obscure altcoin. We're here to learn, not to pump and dump.
