Just attended a Web3 Careers Fair - IN the #Metaverse.
From crafting standout Web3 CVs to acing virtual job interviews, I met an incredible community of innovators, creators, and future tech leaders, all building the next evolution of the internet.
It wasn’t far from the BBA's Metaverse HQ at coordinates 5,19. 🧭
Decentraland is a fully decentralised immersive world built on the #Ethereum Blockchain, and is more than just a virtual playground. It’s where the future of work, education, and networking is unfolding, in real time.
BBA was the world's first blockchain industry association to build its metaverse Headquarters in 2021.

Nearly 4 years on, and still one of the most insightful speeches in #crypto regulation.
Commissioner Hester Peirce's speech at The British Blockchain Association's Conference remains a timeless masterclass on how regulators should approach innovation:
➡️ Evidence-led and Principles-first.
A reminder that true leadership isn’t reactive — it’s visionary.

🇧🇹 Bhutan has now mined 12,000 Bitcoin since 2020.
Now worth $1.3 billion, that’s almost 40% of the country’s GDP, making it the 3rd biggest Bitcoin-holding nation.

Don't force children to take Science if they are interested in Arts.
This anatomy sketch says it all. The bones may be labelled but the soul is dancing.
Let students follow their passions. Talent thrives where it’s free.
To build successful crypto-economies, we must make sure that systems not just talk to each other, but UNDERSTAND each other.
SEMANTIC Inter-operability is the elephant 🐘 in the room no one is talking about.
We can build superfast chains that can process 10,000 TPS, but if regulators cant trust it and business partners cant harmonise the data, it wont scale.
In this video, I shared some examples of failed semantic inter-operability, and what we can learn from these case studies.

What a click. The photographer who captured this deserves serious recognition.
🚨 This is NOT an AI-generated receipt. It’s issued ON the #Blockchain. Good luck faking this one.
🧾 Firstly, let’s talk facts:
🌐 An estimated 250–500 million invoices are issued DAILY across #B2B and #B2C.
🛒 Retail Receipts:
Global retail sales top $25 TRILLION annually — that’s 100M+ receipts per day.
🏢 B2B Invoicing:
300M+ SMEs issue invoices daily.
Enterprises like Amazon, Walmart, and Alibaba generate tens of thousands each day.
💡 E-invoicing:
Expected to hit 100 billion annually by 2030 — that’s 270M PER DAY.
📍Now enter Blockchain-based invoicing:
⛓️ The receipt hash is published on-chain — timestamped and verifiable.
Scan the QR code, and verify the transaction. Even if the paper is lost, the metadata lives forever on-chain.
➡️ From business expense claims to paying for invoices, blockchain is reshaping how we transact.
The future of commerce is being built on the Blockchain: transparent, tamper-proof, and trustless.

Code is already regulating geo-politics, and Trust is the most precious commodity in a digital economy. It's time to build a world where financial power comes from innovation, openness, ideas and a global skills pool, and not closed systems..."
