I wrote this after being on Farcaster for six weeks. Farcaster is closely yet loosely aligned with Base, a Layer 2 blockchain owned by Coinbase. What's special about this article is that readers can collect it directly for a small fee. This helps creators make a direct income for the content they put out. I was chuffed to see that Jesse Pollack, founder of Base, collected it, too. I also embedded some NFTs in this onchain article, so if anyone has bought them as a result of reading this, those creators earn, too. Read. Write. Own. That's our mantra.

The Big Idea: The next web won’t be owned by corporations alone — it’ll be co-owned by creators and communities, via crypto currencies and tokenized digital assets. Learn how to claim your share — before the rest catch up. Two unstoppable trends are colliding now: AI and crypto. You already have a mental model for AI because it comes from the tech world you know; inside-out. Crypto is different. Outside-in, weird, messy. Shaped by mavericks for 15 years. The establishment fought it until now. 2025 is the year crypto goes mainstream, and AI accelerates the shift from Web 2.0 to web3: Read. Write. Own. Why listen to meI’ve been here for 5 years, through scams, crashes, breakthroughs. I’ve also facilitated change in businesses for 30 years. That makes me your bridge: I can cut through the noise and show you what problems blockchain actually solves. Here’s my bet: in the next 12 months, crypto shifts from risky side-bet to rocket fuel. Futures will be made (and lost) on how fast people move. Your CEO or clients might not get it yet. But you can. I know because I’ve seen this movie before. In 1996, I was one of "the Crazy Ones” helping executives get the internet who then said, “I’ll never pay with a credit card online.” You already know how that ended. What you’ll learnThis course is your shortcut to web3 — the shift from users to owners. No hype, no tech-bro noise, just memorable frameworks and hands-on practice to build the internet that actually works for you. Three big “aha” moments that will permanently change how you see crypto and its future role in your life: 1. Bitcoin restores trust in a world running out of it.2. Ethereum makes finance open and fair for everyone.3. Tokenization turns the internet into something we can finally own. Note: This isn’t a trading course. It’s a doing course. You’ll earn crypto by using crypto — hands-on, practical, and grounded in real experience.

From consumer to creator: own the next web before it owns you
