Our guest this week is Robby Yung, CEO at Animoca Brands. Animoca Brands is a leader in digital entertainment, blockchain, and gamification – and has one of the most diverse Web3 focused portfolios around, with more than 150 investments in NFT-related companies and decentralized projects aiming to build the open metaverse.
In this week’s podcast we take a dive into Animoca Brands’ approach to Web 3 – diving into their philosophy on Web3 gaming, investments on Web3 infrastructure, and predictions around when Web3 will reach mainstream adoption and how it will intertwine with traditional gaming economies.
Plus, we discuss how tech companies are responding to the situation in Ukraine – from Google dropping RT from its news features to Twitter reducing the visibility of tweets from Russian state media – and the report that 50% of Valve’s Bitcoin payments were fraudulent.
