A few things you should know

  1. The internet is 50 years old. This technology, and the web it enabled, have changed billions of lives for the better. But their power for good is under threat.
  2. The internet is not as originally planned. Everyone was supposed to be both a producer and consumer of content but also a producer and consumer of infrastructure – neither happened.
  3. We are left with a centralized system where enormous corporations of the world continue to grow both earnings and daily active users at an alarming rate all while using your data to profit.
  4. Global restrictions on technology and communication have primed us for a decentralized solution now - But where should you start?
