Hi, this is Bill Sikkens host of User

00:00:01,708 --> 00:00:05,541

Friendly 2.0 Saturdays here on The Answer

with this week's Tech Wednesday.

3

00:00:05,583 --> 00:00:10,083

The term Web 3.0 refers

to the modern version of the internet

4

00:00:10,208 --> 00:00:14,416

and among other things, this describes

the modern immersive systems

5

00:00:14,416 --> 00:00:17,833

we have for graphics and sound

streaming videos, that type of thing.

6

00:00:17,875 --> 00:00:20,833

And in line with that,

and a lot of the good technologies

7

00:00:20,833 --> 00:00:23,541

that this is brought to us,

there's also scammers.

8

00:00:23,541 --> 00:00:25,083

I know, spoiler alert, right?

9

00:00:25,083 --> 00:00:27,541

What is such

thing is a game called Ember Sword.

10

00:00:27,541 --> 00:00:33,791

And in this game

they were selling players, land characters

11

00:00:33,791 --> 00:00:38,583

and other things using NFTs

and raised a lot of money doing it.

12

00:00:39,208 --> 00:00:42,750

However, it didn't go into well, the game

never actually came into fruition,

13

00:00:42,750 --> 00:00:45,250

and at the end of the day,

a lot of people were left

14

00:00:45,250 --> 00:00:49,416

holding these NFTs that,

well, weren't worth a lot.

15

00:00:49,958 --> 00:00:51,041

This week on User Friendly

16

00:00:51,041 --> 00:00:54,166

2.0, we're going to be deep

diving into this and discussing this

17

00:00:54,166 --> 00:00:56,083

and some of the other things

to look out for

18

00:00:56,083 --> 00:00:59,125

and some of the creative ways

people have come up with to separate you

19

00:00:59,125 --> 00:00:59,791

from your money.
