web3, crypto and blockchain are these opportunities or a threats? ๐ค ๐ญ
โHi community ๐๐ฝ Mahmoud here and this is my weekly updates.
โYou already know what the blockchain is or you might heard about it before, today I would like to share something with you all.
โ๐ฑ Before starting, did you sign up for a kernal?
โYou are missing a lot of 'STARTUPS SPORTS' -a.k.a- startups ideas validation frameworks, founders and investors networking, building inspiration, newsletters, resources and other GREAT STUFF.
โKernal is a private community to nurture, share and build your startups ideas.
โIt's like Product Hunt for startups ideas ๐
โAnd like Business Insider for startups news ๐ผ
โBut better,
โWith a community-centric model, and that's why I'm there ๐
โWeb3 communities and the blockchain sh##t
โNew communities are emerging on the internet by way of NFTs, giving individuals an opportunity to stake land and foster community in designated spaces constructed through residential avatars.
โIn this context, web3 plays its role because it's a back-end revolution and nothing that makes your webspace more likeable or interactive.
โSince the novelties happen at the level of the code, it is not easy for the user to grasp what a huge revolution it is. Web3 changes our data structure as it democratizes information by giving all users the same level of accessibility.
โThere is full transparency and privacy is preserved thanks to cryptography.
โThere is no centralized entity governing the crypto-world, no bank issues any currency but bitcoins are regularly exchanged.
โThe whole system works because there is an open-source protocol that everybody must agree with before performing network actions.
โโ๏ธ blockchain technology needs community collaboration and governance in a shared economy
โObviously there are a lot to figure out on the blockchain, tokens and crypto economies.
โWatch this TEDx Talk presented by Voshmgir, the founder of Blockchain Hub and director of the Research Institute for Crypto Economics at the Vienna University of Economics.
โ๐ฎ The Community Manager Unconference
โ๐ฌ๐ง Today I 'traveled' virtually to London to attend the Community Managers Unconference, it was a great opportunity to meet new friends from the community ecosystem like James, Derek and Vian and to learn new things as well as hearing great ideas to feed my discovery experience
โ๐ฌ๐ง #CMGR Unconference(s) is a hybrid online + in-person unconferences for community managers (CMGR) and builders, and it's run by @jaCattell
โThe CMGR Unconference team completed 4 unconference sessions, including a lean coffee session to get through as many discussion topics as possible. The event was sponsored by the Rommies ๐ค @CommonRoomHQ and hosted by Newspeak House.
โI had the chance to share few key learnings and mistakes I made in the past 3 years to better understand community frameworks during my community transitions.
โThe morning sessions of the first Community Manager Unconference discussion were about:
โA brief overview about community management,
โThe role of the Community Manager throughout the lifecycle,
โMaintaining community momentum,
โMetrics - what to measure and how to measure community success.

โ๐ One Book: Token Economy
โThe Token Economy is a great introduction to the economy of electronic tokens and a fascinating vision of web3 Shermin Voshmgir has a gift for explaining the complex technology of block chains, tokens, and virtual currencies in a clear and straightforward way, especially for readers that are interested in the application of the technology but donโt have the technical background to keep up with latest developments.
โThe book provides a pathbreaking contribution to understand the intersection of cryptology, technology, and economics; an important subject that deserves further attention.
โVoshmgir also paints an interesting picture of the new internet, with possibilities for greater control over the use of personal information, which could have major implications for employment and the role of governments.
โAn enjoyable read that stimulates further thinking. Available on Amazon.
