Investing in Web3 with Alex Tapscott Part 1

January 0001

Join Alex Tapscott and Michael Hainsworth as they engage in a high-level, beginner-friendly, and educational episode that breaks down Web3 in simple terms, discusses its applications and disruptive potential on financial markets, introduces the Ninepoint Web3 Innovators Fund (TSX: TKN; TKN.U), and more!

The Internet is entering a new era – Web3. Web1, which we now think of as the “Dot Com era,” gave us a new way to consume information digitally. In Web2, the web became not only a medium for the presentation of information but also a powerful tool for communication and collaboration online. Enter Web3, the “Read-Write-Own Web,” a decentralized Internet that enables individuals to move, store and manage assets like money, securities, intellectual property, art, data, and our identities privately, securely and digitally. Web3 has the potential to make the web more fair, private, decentralized, resilient, and more inclusive. As with prior eras of the Internet, Web3 will become an integral technology for business. The companies who harness this technology will not only survive but thrive in this next era of digital disruption.

Tune in to the 103rd DeFi Decoded episode to hear Alex and Michael discuss all things investing in Web3. What exactly is Web3? What is the Metaverse, and how does it relate to blockchain? What is the Ninepoint Web3 Innovators Fund?
