Description

What's the real deal with Web3? Is it a serious technology changing how we use the internet, a digital casino for risk-takers, or just a flashy carnival?

Our guest, William Herkelrath the CEO and Co-founder of K3 Labs brings over two decades of FinTech experience and has navigated the wild Web3 landscape since 2017.

From leading business development at Chainlink to selling his startup to PayPal, he shares his front-row view of both the serious business and wild entertainment sides of the blockchain world.

What you'll learn:

  1. The hilarious and sometimes absurd "casino moments" that define today's Web3 landscape
  2. How to spot genuine innovation amid the circus of memecoins and speculative projects
  3. Why traditional companies are eyeing the Web3 space (and their awkward attempts to fit in)
  4. Whether Web3 can ever return to its original promise of decentralization and user empowerment
  5. Stories from the front lines that are too wild to make up


Whether you're a blockchain believer, a curious skeptic, or just enjoy watching digital gold rushes unfold, this conversation offers both entertainment and genuine insights into where this technology might be headed.

Tune in for a refreshingly honest take on an industry that's equal parts revolutionary, ridiculous, and full of potential.
