Cryptosocial

For the last 15 years, social media platforms have disrupted life as we know it - almost every industry has been touched by this new concept that didn’t exist two decades ago. As two billion new people find themselves on the internet, social media platforms are a big part of that introduction… but can the disruptors be disrupted? Allen Taylor’s new book is a detailed yet fun look into the new decentralized platforms popping up to challenge traditional social media and which offer a more fair, more equitable internet. If you had no idea this was even a thing, this book is for you. Or, if you’re like me and know quite a lot about this new wave of exciting and enthusiastic challengers, this book offers insights into areas I’m excited to try out for myself. The world is changing quickly and this book is a fantastic guide to decentralized social media.–Adam from gFam.liveIn times like this, it’s hard to envision that anything could become decentralized.
