  • I provide a framework and tools to assess how #web3 provides value and how to separate fact from fiction in the web3 space. Blockchains can be painful but beautiful - this means that sustainable opportunities where a web3 solution makes sense are nuanced.
    Jan is an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at Stanford University and a Professor in Residence at StartX. For his Ph.D. work at Cambridge University, he used computers, information theory, and statistics, such as stochastic context free grammars, to find patterns in genomes. He was a physics professor at UC Berkeley until 2013, when he moved to Stanford.
    In 2016, he worked with Joe Biden’s cancer moonshot initiative and a social network to help patients share sensitive medical data. Jan cofounded Enya in 2018 as a way to reframe how sensitive information flows through the internet and how data analytics can be better balanced with privacy.
    Jan is a Sloan Research Fellow and a Searle Scholar. At Stanford, Jan focuses on privacy preserving digital health and he teaches a blockchain / distributed systems class. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    The amount of bots on this video is astounding.

    There is no incentive for web3 to become anything. When I was younger, I drank the crypto coolaid. But almost everything comes back to some sort of centralization to fix cryptos inherent issues. Problem then becomes centralized systems with 0 safeguards; and we've seen how that story has played out so far

    Answer: YES , it can be.

    I don't think the two use cases given are viable either. The trustlessness property only holds as long as everything that is done by any participant is done on-chain. As a company or nation, you can still use the blockchain to document your carbon emission reductions, but just lie about them. There is no reliable way to prevent people from colluding and entering bad data. In the charity example it is still possible that the charity organization colludes with the receivers of the funds and diverts the money once it is off chain.

      Exactly this is where ORACLEs come into play. Chainlink, IXO (Cosmos) are such projects built on blockchain that bridge the realworld data into the blockchain world in a relatively more TRUSTLESS manner.

      Trying to justify a system that doesn't need to exist is always a fun exercise.
      The only use I still see with it is to perform transfers between countries more easily and without a third party involved.

    Why dont you try to fix the corruption rather than trying to bypass it with blockchain… corruption still existing and that is why blockchain is corrupted. Ps Bitcoin is horrible for the environment.

      Blockchain is not trying to bypass corruption, and even people can leverage it to consume more corruption but thats not the point. A technology is invented and highly utilized by dark world why not we people utilize it for the good sake

      one is transparent the other not. One can be manipulated, one cant. One leads to higher trust and can be 100% democratic with higher security.

    it can do everything! right? right?
    mere idea of a system for a century, while it didn't exist a decade ago - pretty bold

    They’re only painful at the moment because the technology is so in its infancy. Just like every area of tech, it’ll speed up exponentially.
    Then it’ll just be beautiful!

    Imagine all the lies this guy told for an hour. I won't be using web3, I'm not a crypto fascist. I'm old enough to remember the world's most generous billionaire. I don't support human trafficking by crypto.
