Web 3.0: Three Trillion Reasons to Learn More About Cryptocurrency & the Metaverse

The crypto market is now worth over US$3 Trillion. Skeptics dismiss it but, given the weight of smart capital flowing in and the ever-increasing legitimate use cases, this is a market that is going mainstream quickly. Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal all accept cryptocurrencies – in fact, you can even trade crypto via the CBA’s app. Superannuation funds are investing in crypto. Many companies are holding crypto assets on their balance sheets as part of a corporate treasury hedging/investment strategy. Even AT&T accepts phone bill payments in crypto, as do many other retailers. Crypto is going mainstream fast, and there are massive opportunities and threats for all organizations.

This session is perfect for leaders and aspirational leaders who are interested in how technology will impact the future of all industries. Nick de-mystifies these topics for mainstream audiences with some added humor along the way. Key take-always for those attending Nick’s session include:

• Summary of major mainstream use-cases for crypto, aka “Ten uses for crypto that don’t involve buying drugs on the dark web”. This will explain to the audience why we need to care
• A simple explanation of the key technologies involved. Not enough to build your own smart contract, but enough to sound smart at a dinner party
• Which industries are getting impacted fastest
• Simple strategies for how your business can benefit from the digital asset revolution

2021 marked a massive increase in hacking and ransomware attacks. Many companies were hit hard and—for the first time ever—we saw companies fail as a result of cyber attacks. This is an issue for everyone in the organization, not just the IT Department. One of the key determinants of whether your organization can survive an attack is proper preparation. As the saying goes, “When you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail.”

All conveyed in non-technical language peppered with humor. Some takeaways include:
