Q: How do you see Web3 as an expert – where are we, where are we going?
A: Web3 refers to the next stage of the internet, which is about owning your data. The internet has dominated all aspects of our lives for the past few years. Therefore I see the opportunities for ownership on the internet through Web3 as extremely important. After an explosive bull market in 2021, the Web3 movement is now facing some question marks expressed by declining market prices. In the short term, I don’t see this as problematic, as we generally are in a complicated macroeconomic situation. In the long term, the possibilities are unlimited. However, there is still a long way to go.
Q: How can blockchain “newbies” get involved in the world of DeFi? Can your videos help, or are they more for professionals?
A: I think it’s still worth looking into the thesis behind Bitcoin. There is some fantastic documentation that can easily be found on YouTube at no cost. With this foundation, it’s without a doubt easier to grapple with the concept of “ownership on the internet” through tokens and DeFi. After that, I think it’s important to try DeFi yourself, for example: do your first swaps, etc. My videos are probably not the best starting point, as they are mostly very specific. However, they also provide an interesting basis for picking up DeFi-related vocabulary.
Q: What do you see as the biggest opportunities in the shift from Web2 to Web3?
A: The biggest opportunity is unquestionably having sovereignty over your own data as a consumer. In Web2, revenue on the enterprise side is primarily generated by customer data. Data sovereignty will certainly have an impact on revenue streams. I also see a great opportunity in the natural connection between financial and everyday themes. Robinhood has shown that the finance theme area can be attractive to a younger audience. Web3 will continue to drive this development.
Q: How do you support the management of the Tigris Web3 fund?
A: I will support with strategies in the DeFi area. DeFi is moving extraordinarily fast and seeing that I try to act as a link between the new developments and the fund.
