We break down the biggest crypto scandal to hit the market since Mt.Gox was hacked back in 2014. Last week FTX which is one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world was found to run in to liquidity problems which meant customers would not be able to withdraw the funds they deposited.

The crypto markets are starting to show some signs of positive momentum, what can be causing this shift in sentiment? When comparing this stage of the bear market to the 2018 cycle, there are some clear distinguishable differences, mainly in the amount of construction present in the market. Now there are multiple Layer 1, Layer2, and even Layer 3 blockchains on the way. NFTs can potentially blow up again with Reddit NFTs that just launched. All of this together paints a much more bullish picture than before. When shifting to the metaverse, we are witnessing the start of the content censorship debate that we predicted would happen several years ago. Now that Decentraland has a community governing the DAO, what will the they decide is the best route to regulate content that is too sexualized and potentially damaging.

Seems like Andrew Tate is getting traction as a result of the design of social media algorithm designs. Freedom of speech is being challenged by the social media companies and presents an opportunity for the web3 space to capitalize on the collective realization that freedom of speech can be quickly censored. We find parallels with what’s happening in the macro-economic conditions with the Great Depression from the crash of 1929. Our monetary system is destined to collapse but there is a secret that could delay the inevitable collapse. The secret is the metaverse, find out how.
Topics:
- First up, we acknowledge the Andrew Tate Baning on all social media platforms and how it relates to Web3
- Next, we discuss who should be in control, Tech companies or the People.
- Then, we examine how Web 3 will improve and protect freedom of speech
