Summary:
What do Web3, Crypto, and Blockchain really mean for business today? Like the dot-com bust before it, the crypto moment of the early 2020s seemed to rise and fall in a manic instant. Billionaires were minted one week and jail time was handed out the next. But in the aftermath, the promise of the technology remains. Blockchain and crypto aren't for speculators anymore--they're the basis of the rising decentralized internet called Web3 that could rewrite the past decade's rules. Where does your business fit in? Whether you're looking to refine your blockchain strategy or making your first move, the HBR Insights Web3, Crypto, and Blockchain Collection will walk you through what's real and what's fake with crypto, show you how today's most innovative organizations are moving toward Web3, and prepare you and your company to succeed in the new internet age.
