Ep 42 | The Decentralized Internet with Dr. Tomicah Tillemann of Andreessen Horowitz

In the early 1990s, the internet consisted of simple, static HTML pages. These pages did not allow users to change on-screen data; they could only read information. Darci DiNucci, an early web designer named this first stage of the internet: Web 1.0. Then came the late 2000s and the advent of the interaction between users and websites. This stage has since been named Web 2.0, facilitated the rise of centralized social networks and brings us up to the present day.

It is a movement towards the decentralization of finance, paving the way for the DeFi and NFT revolutions... In this episode of The Money Movement, Jeremy is joined by Dr. Tomicah Tillemann, Global Head of Policy and Partner at Andreessen Horowitz.
