And like Web1 kind of promised that and Web2 kind of promised that. But it's still a brand-to-consumer relationship. What Web3 does is it's a many-to-many relationship, like your consumers are out there now advocating and educating other people in the community. That is very, very precious and hard to achieve.” Lin (17:21) “You can be unstoppable even if you start learning today. My knowledge is only slightly ahead of some of the newer people because I'm learning every day still. Like I'm trying to look at what my peers and my comrades and my colleagues in different companies are doing and there is just great work being done by lots of amazing companies.” Lin (48:43) Our Guest Lin Dai is a seasoned entrepreneur, digital executive, and change maker since founding the first social network in digital rewards platform for teens.
