Albert Wenger - managing partner at Union Square Ventures - takes a bird’s-eye view on the Internet and how it’s changing our world. We compare and contrast the traditional Internet’s pioneer days in the early ‘90s to today’s blockchain boom, as well as exploring the ideas in his book “World After Captial.” What does the impending Knowledge Age look like? And what are the three freedoms necessary to smoothly transition into it?

The Internet: the most impactful invention of modern human history. It has transformed the way that we talk with each other, do business, educate and learn - even the way we think. But how did we get here? What were the choices, the experiments, and, yes, even the moments of blind luck that created the Internet we use today? And, more importantly, who are the innovators and disruptors that are building what we will use next?

Hosted by podcast personality Zach Valenti with guest hosts Ryan Shea and Muneeb Ali, co-founders of Blockstack, "The Internet 3.0" brings you the stories of digital explorers on the frontier of decentralized protocols, cryptocurrencies, and other revolutionary technologies that are changing the face of the Internet forever.
