The web3 is more than cryptocurrency. The Philippine Blockchain Week is happening between September 19 to 21, at the Marriott Grand Ballroom, Newport World Resorts Manila.
A couple of years ago some hotshot word called “blockchain” shook the digital industry. The name carried with it a promise of something cool, something revolutionizing, something that would change how industry worked.
The only reason why cryptocurrency became such a huge buzz is because money is involved. And not by any small amount. Obtaining the right cryptocurrency at the right time, can see massive gains. Imagine investing P1,000, and in two weeks it’s suddenly P20,000? What some people learned too late, is when the value of cryptocurrency can go up extremely fast, it WILL drop down twice as fast and several times harder. That P1,000 purchase we mentioned earlier? That could end up being P100 or lower.
But wait, has there ever been a web2? Web1 even? Why are some of us hearing about this just now? Examples of web2 are social media platforms, such as Meta , Instagram , TikTok, and X . You make content for these platforms. Every post and upload and share and all else, is you adding value to these companies. You don’t own your own content under these companies and your personal data is used to study you.
“Last year exceeded our expectations,” said Donald Lim, Philippine Blockchain Week convenor, “proving strong appetite for blockchain education and collaboration. This year we want to go bigger, showcasing more diverse use cases and inspiring more FIlipinos to get involved in shaping the blockchain future.”
