#JASMY defines the core of #Japan’s Web3 era. 🌐 For the Land of the Rising Sun, Web 3.0 is not merely a technical evolution of the existing Internet, but a profound structural shift in the way value, trust, and data are organized within the digital space. As conceptualized by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Web 3.0 must be built on a decentralized architecture in which individuals are no longer passive users of digital services, but autonomous actors capable of owning, controlling, and directly leveraging their data, digital identities, and assets. This vision stands in clear contrast to the Web 2.0 model, where information and value are concentrated within large platforms that capture the majority of the data and revenues generated by online interactions. Within this new paradigm, blockchain plays a fundamental role as a trust infrastructure. Through distributed ledgers and cryptographic mechanisms, it becomes possible to establish direct relationships between individuals, organizations, and services without relying on a central authority to validate exchanges. Mutual authentication, data integrity, and traceability are natively ensured by the protocol itself, while significantly reducing management and intermediation costs. Web 3.0 is thus expected to guarantee the uniqueness and authenticity of exchanged information, while offering strong resistance to data falsification or manipulation. A central pillar of this Japanese vision lies in the redefinition of data ownership. METI emphasizes that one of the major imbalances of today’s Internet stems from the excessive concentration of personal and industrial data in the hands of large digital platforms. Web 3.0, by contrast, aims to return ownership to individuals and data producers themselves, enabling them to freely determine the conditions under which their data may be used, shared, or monetized. This approach is part of a broader effort to rebalance digital power and restore trust in the digital economy, fully aligned with Japan’s principles of data circulation based on trust, notably the concept of Data Free Flow with Trust. The Japanese government also views Web 3.0 as a foundational layer for the emergence of new forms of digital economy. Tokenization whether through cryptocurrencies, utility tokens, governance tokens, or NFTs, makes it possible to represent and exchange value in a programmable and transparent manner. This gives rise to economic models in which users become direct stakeholders in the ecosystems they participate in, spanning content creation, decentralized communities, and innovative digital services. From this perspective, Web 3.0 is seen as a catalyst for industrial innovation and international competitiveness for Japan, particularly in areas such as the metaverse, the creator economy, and next-generation digital infrastructures. Finally, Japan’s vision of Web 3.0 extends far beyond financial or purely technological considerations. It is embedded in a broader societal strategy aimed at building a more equitable, resilient digital economy that is better aligned with human values. By restoring individual control over data and fostering digital interactions based on trust rather than centralization, Web 3.0 is envisioned as one of the pillars of a digital society capable of sustaining innovation while respecting the sovereignty of individuals, communities, and nations.

DROPS E35: Core DAO 🔶 - Bitcoin yield without giving up your Bitcoin Rich is one of the initial contributors to Core DAO, the leading Bitcoin scaling solution. He's also a long-time Zcash holder and early backer of Z Protocol , a new privacy chain built on Core's Satoshi Plus consensus. We talk Bitcoin yield, financial privacy, AI surveillance, and why the next big move in crypto might not be where most people are looking. We talk about: - How Core DAO lets you earn yield on Bitcoin by time-locking it - without ever giving up custody - Why borrowing against Bitcoin makes sense now - OG Bitcoiners rotating to Zcash - what "transition" actually means and whether it's bad for Bitcoin - Z Protocol as the DeFi layer for private money - Why AI has made financial surveillance trivial - and why that accelerates privacy adoption - How Agents are leaving full financial fingerprints - and why privacy needs to be default on at the chain level And much more...

Ep. 22 | Free The Money | The Fight for Digital Integrity with Alexis Roussel In this episode, I sit down with privacy activist Alexis Roussel who is the co-founder and COO of Nym Technologies to explore one of the most important ideas of our time: the right to digital integrity. Alexis argues that in a world where our lives are increasingly online, personal data should not be treated as a commodity to be collected, bought, and sold—but as an extension of the individual. Drawing from his background in law, the United Nations, and digital rights advocacy, he explains why protecting human rights in the digital age requires a fundamental shift in how we think about data ownership and privacy. We dive into how governments around the world are tightening control over the internet, from shutdowns in Iran to deep packet inspection, black-box surveillance systems, and forced apps in Russia—and why even EU regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation may be “broken by design.” Alexis makes the case that once data is treated as something that can be collected it opens the door to exploitation. Instead, he’s actively working to enshrine digital integrity into law—pushing to amend the Swiss Constitution so that extracting or misusing personal data without consent is recognized as a violation of human rights. We also explore what comes next: the role of encryption, the dangers of metadata surveillance, and how technologies like Nym’s mixnet aim to make privacy the default. From mesh networks to censorship resistance, this conversation challenges the idea that surveillance equals safety and instead lays out a future where individuals retain control over their digital lives.

One of the most unique conversations I've had in a while. Kareem Amin is co-founder and CEO of Clay, which has grown from $1M to $100M ARR in the last two years and is valued at $5B. He is also one of the most original and deep thinkers I've met, which has led him to build the company in some unusual ways. Whenever we get together, we talk a little about Clay and a lot about the ideas that make him so compelling. This is one of those conversations. We discuss: - Why capitalism rewards risk - Creating from wholeness ("post-lack") - Courage, truth, and justice - What magicians, clowning and music taught him about building a company - Death doulas for companies Enjoy!
