    1. Thanks Dr. Justin for sharing, this is a good example on the use cases with using it for medical history purposes and the example of transparency for all the ingredients in a cookie. How might we how the leverage the collective action and expertise of the blockchain tech community, leaders and more– towards positive change and lasting social impact?

    2. I feel like we are only hearing one side of this technology breakthrough. So with Web 3.0 we can get details on a bag of nuts, does that mean that if someone had the access codes they could have access to our personal history? The FBI can get phone records to solve a crime, will that capability go away? Insurance companies need access to our healing history, will that be something we''ll be able to control? If the government wanted see if crime organizations are now in our cities because they can hide everything and make money transactions without a money trail. Is all this good? In 20 years the web has changed our lives, just wait till the next twenty years, I guarantee not everyone will be happy. For example, if you want health insurance but won't open your health records, maybe an insurance company will still cover you but at the highest rates. Apply that to everything else too and you'll have to make more to just live like you are now. Imagine what it can do for politicians? Yes, we will have more power but not everyone has good intentions. It isn't like all societies are getting nicer with time.
