TechTalks: Is web3 really the future of internet and business?


Would you say that blockchain has met our expectations? The excitement around Web3 has long faded away and harsh realities have settled in over the last years. What role does blockchain play in today's world, and what can we (realistically) expect from it in the future?


Nikola Tanković says that blockchain is worth learning, but we should understand its downsides. Ivan Piton founded a decentralized finance startup and says that Web3 definitely has a future. Domagoj Ostović has largely given up on blockchain. In his five years of community management, Stefano Filimonović saw lots of movement in Web3. He holds an optimistic view of this emerging industry.


Join us on October 10 at Coworking Pula for the new edition of the TechTalks series led by the knowledgeable Ida Pandur. Please register here.
