Sarah Milby, now a Senior Policy Manager at Blockchain Association, began her Web3 journey when she saw the need to transact across borders. Sarah shares a personal story about how she realized friends and family members across the world were facing countless obstacles to support each other financially. So, she dove into crypto research and has begun doing everything she can to make a change. Sarah’s work focuses on security and the risks of centralized vs. decentralized exchanges. She says decentralization exists on a spectrum, and it isn’t black and white: Companies can have elements of both, and their level of decentralization can shift as the company evolves.   Sarah talks about how she learned the lingo of the crypto world, and advises to take the time to learn as much as possible and have a solid understanding of two big ideas: How the blockchain works, and what decentralization is and why it matters.    She also discusses: How there’s so much coming in the future of Web3 that we haven’t even predicted yet The difference between Traditional Finance (TradFi) big banks that don't use blockchain technology, and Centralized Finance (CeFi), centralized entities in the crypto space, and how they function in our society   And how it takes patience and community to learn the difficult parts of the Web3 world.   Follow Sarah and her journey:  Twitter: @sarahamilbyBlockchain Association: https://theblockchainassociation.org/ Blockchain Association on Twitter: @BlockchainAssn   The Women in Web3 Podcast shares the origin stories of women-led Web3 projects - Everything from NFTs to cryptocurrency, blockchain, the metaverse and more.

Sara Moric works in communications and PR for the Web3 industry, with stints at BitPanda, one of the biggest European exchanges, and LimeWire, a music NFT space that was created with the intent to make NFTs go mainstream. Sara visits the Women in Web3 podcast to discuss the evolution and possibilities of NFTs. She describes how the public’s definition of NFTs is constantly changing and can mean something different to everyone.    Sara's favorite part about NFTs is that they give artists direct support and investments from their fans, rather than having to go through a large streaming service. She also tells us how NFTs aren’t just photos or jpegs; they are digital assets that can unlock exclusive meet and greets, access to clubs, and so much more.      Sara realizes that the power of owning digital assets is what's carrying NFTs and will sustain their longevity in Web3. "If we think of it in the bigger picture, people have been interested in collecting items for as long as we can remember, and NFTs aren’t so different from that."      Sara also shares her knowledge on how communications and PR is changing with Web3, and how you can easily get in touch with journalists from just one easy click -- via an app you probably already have on your phone!     Follow Sara and her journey: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saramoric/Twitter: https://twitter.com/saramoric   The Women in Web3 Podcast shares the origin stories of women-led Web3 projects - Everything from NFTs to cryptocurrency, blockchain, the metaverse and more.
