Chainlink Labs’ Mike Ferrer joins to teach us about the growing Web3 community of startups, developers, and enthusiasts in the Southeast Asia (SEA) region. We discuss how Axie Infinity and other NFT and DeFi games and applications are helping people virtually cross borders and gain financial opportunities.
Mike and I get into old-school gaming and discuss the ways that multiplayer online games shaped the crypto industry. We also delve into how people in SEA use social media differently than crypto enthusiasts in the West.
