Jason Hartman is joined by Matthew Gould of Unstoppable Domains to discuss why what we are hearing now about cryptocurrency, blockchain and the decentralized web represents a change in our system as significant as when the internet rolled out in the 90s. So what exactly does the future of the internet look like? Well, there are three different choices as to who can decide what the internet looks like in the future - the government, big tech or the consumer. Shouldn't the consumer have more say in their digital lives? Stay tuned because there will be a lot of opportunities for early adopters of the decentralized web!

0:00 Introduction
1:15 Unstoppable Domains is helping cryptocurrency adoption
3:02 How does blockchain technology avoid interference/censorship? What is the difference between this platform and others?
4:25 We are living in Orwellian times now, everyone is self-censoring
5:40 We are tackling the DNS system problem
6:50 Will Google even index the .crypto and .zil extensions? Most likely, cryptocurrency users are going to be early adopters of the decentralized web which will allow for more freedom
8:15 Is there a blockchain/free speech oriented hosting solution out there?
9:18 There are three different choices as to who can decide what the internet looks like in the future - the government, big tech or the consumer
10:15 As this evolves, we will have websites built on the decentralized web that are stored on networks of user's computers and not Amazon servers
10:50 Better government regulating the internet than big tech because in a country like the USA, at least you have recourse - these big companies need to be broken up under antitrust laws, algorithms made public and regulated under common carrier laws
12:40 There is too much concentration in these big tech companies
13:15 How exactly does a decentralized domain name work?
15:15 Facebook's cryptocurrency Libra was met with hesitancy
16:19 Other countries have better banking systems than the US and China wishes to launch its own cryptocurrency, if one country has better money (faster delivery, based on new tech, etc), it's much more attractive to trade and that is a threat to the dollar long term
17:08 We'll see a lot of progress on the digital dollar over the next five years
17:35 What you are hearing now about bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrency is as significant as when the internet rolled out in the 90s
18:50 There will be a lot of opportunity here for early users so educate yourself
