Web3, or wait and see?

In our third episode on digital assets and blockchain, we explore the evolution of Web3: from a speculative concept to a maturing global industry, with a focus on Luxembourg’s emerging role in the space. Our guest, - Maxime Baron, CEO of Hash Consulting - discusses how blockchain technology, once compared to the "floppy disk era", is steadily becoming more user-friendly and mainstream.
