Amazon was a bookstore. But it was not Barnes & Noble digitized. You still got physical books in the mail. What was amazing was the largeness of the offering that simply was not possible in any physical store. This was new.
Amazon was launched at a time when you had to be patient and a photo would download.
Now Amazon is an everything store. It even sells movies. In fact, it has become a behemoth to disrupt. Web 3 wants to disrupt Amazon, and Google, and Facebook, and Microsoft, and Apple. Yes, Web 3 can disrupt hardware too.
But I use Amazon as a metaphor. Web 3 is not about giving JP Morgan digital wings. The “hurricane” Jamie Dimon sees on the horizon is not the Great Depression 2.0. It is Web 3. JP Morgan is Barnes & Noble.
Media is plentiful today. Anybody who wants to can create media. It is so easy that we don’t fully appreciate it.
These were early days, and Jeff Bezos, smart guy, came up with an amazing idea. We need knee pads, he said. No, Jeff, what we need is a desk, the person with him said.
Web 3 will democratize money. By 2030 we will be amazed. Like, really, you wanted to borrow 300 dollars to buy a buffalo and you could not? Like how was that even possible?
We will end up with financial services that are hard to even imagine right now. Face the fact that when Instagram was launched, it was revolutionary. It’s just a photo-sharing app. No big deal.

Paramendra BhagatDefeating Putin In Donbas Is The Cheap, Easy Option
As I follow Zelensky in this war, I am constantly reminded of this book I read just a few months ago. At that time there was no inkling of Putin’s invasion. I read the book because I am perennially interested in Abraham Lincoln’s life and work. Lincoln was not even a soldier. It was not a war he had chosen. He became a student of war in the White House. And because his instincts were right, and he stood on the side of justice and liberty, he seems to have made all sorts of right war moves. If...
Paramendra BhagatTo Seek Only A Military Solution Is Dangerous
In eastern Ukraine, to seek only a military solution is dangerous. I admire the work of military strategists, intelligence officials, and governments who have stepped into supplying the needed hardware. Most of all I admire the brave men and women of the Ukrainian military who make the ultimate sacrifice daily. But we can never lose sight of the larger purpose and the higher ground. Ultimately this is about peace, liberty, and justice. Eisenhower warned of the “military-industrial complex.” H...
