Blockchain-related explosive and disruptive innovation seems to stem from a shared ontological hunger: that deeper side of human beings that drives us to fill the void that makes us so different from other animal species.

But trying-creating, innovating, moving against the system, etc.-to do something about it is what keeps us moving, conscious and alive. On the contrary, becoming aimless zombies who do exactly what they are told.

So, Taoism. Smart contracts, decentralization, the collective search for an alternative to traditional structures: 3 big guys at the top and thousands of workers who can’t participate in making important decisions in the environment they devote their lives to. Mostly most corporations.

2021 was the heyday for Web3, DeFi, the meta-universe, NFT and DAO. It all started to become mainstream. It’s getting big, it’s everywhere. But so much is happening so soon that the big picture of these innovations does not yet have a definite shape.

Nevertheless, it’s important to approach the impetus behind everything that’s exploding around us, because it’s probably going to become part of everyone’s life.
