ABOUT: In this intensely riveting conversation, JB Benjamin and Jamil Hasan share their personal experiences and insights, discussing the potential of blockchain to decentralize banking and financial systems, reduce costs, and increase security. Benjamin emphasized the need for privacy, security, and transparency in crypto communications, and the critical need for ethical practices in the tech industry. The two agreed there must be effective regulations to address societal impact, while JB offers valuable advice to newbies in the crypto space on how to protect your investments and navigate the industry.
Benjamin discusses the importance of privacy and encryption and believe the current digital divide will be addressed in a coming century of abundance despite ongoing conflicts and system failures. JB discusses security measures for a new digital platform to combat data exploitation as ongoing privacy concerns have arisen from web2 companies like Facebook and Netflix, which are in a race to sell others’ personal information. Benjamin advocates for privacy and digital sovereignty, especially in an age where artificial intelligence is abundant, as blockchain is best suited for recording non-reputable truths.
While discussing diversity in technology, JB argues that diversity is often used as a distraction from the genuine issue…classism. He argues newbies should avoid crypto chat influencers and blockchain shows, as they often promote frauds and manipulate communities. JB advocates to be especially cautious of projects with toxic communities that use emotional manipulation and promote offensive content. Of particular importance, JB assets the importance of security measures and not to fall for emotionally driven schemes. Of last note, some traditional institutions, like family court and other civil disputes, cannot be helped by blockchain as enforcement issues will persist. Still, blockchain may be a useful tool in the long-term transformation of industries that require storage of evidence over prolonged timeframes.
