Adoption

The latest episode of the Hashing It Out podcast explores how crypto cash-back rewards are driving Web3 adoption by bridging traditional commerce and blockchain technology.

In the latest episode of Hashing It Out, host Elisha Owusu Akyaw discusses the intersection of Web3 and traditional commerce with Blake Capozza, co-founder of Moso, a platform enabling users to earn cryptocurrency as cash-back when shopping online.

The conversation sheds light on how innovations like crypto rewards influence adoption and shape the broader Web3 landscape.

One of the episode’s focal points is how platforms like Moso navigate two distinct user groups: crypto-savvy individuals seeking diverse earning opportunities and traditional consumers enticed by higher cash-back rates. Capozza outlines how Mosso attracts both demographics by offering familiar shopping experiences while integrating cryptocurrency incentives.

Companies without a crypto wallet will be left behind

November 3, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

On the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome resides a very famous fresco. Its centerpiece, The Creation of Adam depicts God giving life to Adam, their fingers extending towards one another, poised to infuse a spark of creation.

It’s a vivid visualization of the creation of mankind. But it’s also an effective metaphor for the gulf between Web2 and Web3: So close and yet just out of reach.

For Web2 businesses trying to bridge that gap, the spark they’re missing is the Web3 wallet that will connect their app with all the functionalities on the other side.

The show, which is based on the "Space Nation" game, plans to use non-traditional distribution channels such as second-window broadcasts for streamers.

A live-action TV series based on the “Space Nation” Web3 game is in development with Hollywood director Roland Emmerich and producer Marco Weber leading the project.

According to an exclusive report from Variety, the duo intend to explore the game’s history, lore, and setting through a live-action series, but they’re not developing it for a network or streaming site.
