139 - The Crypto Renaissance: Comparing the Printing Press to NFTs with PhD Historian Josh Rosenthal

In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we’re talking to Josh Rosenthal. Josh is an entrepreneur, investor, and crypto historian. He’s Managing Partner at Narwhal Ventures and Co-Founder and Partner at The 6ixth Event, a founders’ fund for crypto projects.

We talk about how NFTs and crypto are driving a kind of digital renaissance, what led Josh to this idea, and how it compares to the last renaissance. How are NFTs redefining the way we think about things like community, ownership, and property rights?

Josh talks about the value of using symbols to communicate ideas and concepts, and we discuss the significance of early, “low-brow” art like CryptoPunks. Is Web3 the present-day equivalent of creating the printing press?

We discuss how Web3 can give more power to individual content creators and give us greater control and ownership over our own data. Finally, Josh shares some ideas on what Web3 means for identity and how this could evolve over time.

141 - The Future of Decentralized Identity and Reputation with Scott Kominers from a16z crypto

In this episode of The Unstoppable Podcast, we’re talking to Scott Kominers. He’s a Harvard Business School professor and part of the research team at a16z crypto — a venture capital fund that invests in crypto and Web3 startups.

We talk about identity and reputation in Web3, and Scott shares some of the stories that led him to become interested in these topics. Scott explains some of the key differences between Web2 and Web3, one of which is how the latter is more open and less dominated by siloes.

We go on to discuss the ability to carry assets from one part of Web3 to another and why this simple concept is so important for the future of the web. Scott talks about the possibility of building a more global digital infrastructure that can benefit people in certain parts of the world.

We also chat about sharing digital information — how much of our data do we really want to share online and where do we draw the line? Finally, we dive into the idea of associating reputation with online identity, what this can unlock, bringing off-chain information into Web3, and how far away we are from this.
