Sami Issa of W3BCloud: Continuing to Build the Infrastructure for the Next Iteration of the Internet

Panic with Friends – Investing for Profit and Joy

We’re here in late 2022 with a complete meltdown in crypto, so I wanted to bring Sami Issa back on the show to get me refreshed on the fundamentals. I remain bullish on this next iteration of the internet – web3.

I have a different set of questions for Sami who’s been in the hardware, machine and infrastructure side of computers for a very long time. It is important to hear him explain the compute/infrastructure side of web3 and what it’s going to take to grow and scale in an era of decentralization and the blockchain.

You can listen to the podcast here on Spotify or Apple podcast, and now all the episodes are on my YouTube channel as well. You can click subscribe on any of these channels and get the podcast alert each week.

Sami Issa of W3BCloud: Lessons Learned Post-FTX... by Panic with Friends - Howard Lindzon

We’re here in late 2022 with a complete meltdown in crypto, and I’ve no idea what to make of it. So I wanted to bring Sami back on the show to get a gut check. Post FTX fraud I need to make sense of it all, because I’m still super bullish on this next iteration of the internet – web3, crypto – or whatever we’re calling it. They’re solving real problems for people like me, and I’m trying all these different products around NFTs and communities – but a lot has changed since Sami was here a short time ago. And infrastructure, where W3BCloud is focused, still has to happen if the next set of winners and entrepreneurs are going to build. I have a different set of questions for Sami who’s been in the hardware, machine, infrastructure side of computers for a very long time. It’s good to hear him explain things about this compute/infrastructure side of web3 and what it’s going to take to grow and scale in an era of decentralization and the blockchain.
