Del Titus Bawuah: Embracing the Future of Technology; The utility of Web 3 and the Blockchain in Africa
Manage episode 356238517 series 2823227
Del Titus Bawuah is a technology enthusiast, futurist and the Founder of a decentralized community building platform, Web3 Accra and Ghana Unity DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization,)
Del’s desire to create economic value for others combined with his optimistic outlook of the future led him on a search for the next tecnhological frontier . He describes this as the eureka moment which snowballed into a self-taught bitcoin mining experiment, and an eventual evangelism of blockchains and Web3.
In this episode, we discuss the revolution of the internet and juxtapose the characteristics of Web2 to the decentralized ownership of Web3. We talk about Non-Fungible Tokens(NFTs), their practical utility and debunk the myths and misconceptions that has fueled their misuse. Del believes that a shift from the abstractness of NFTs to everyday use cases like documenting and preserving medical records will substantiate their utility.
Del discusses the goals and thought process behind his organizations, Web3 Accra and the Ghana Unity DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). He explains the fundamental need for mass education that will unlock Africa’s access to the internet’s next biggest opportunity as well as collaboration and institutional support.
