yeah, happy Bitcoin pizza day to everybody. 00:05:07.949 --> 00:05:09.089 We celebrated ours last night. 00:05:09.089 --> 00:05:10.632 It was a great evening. 00:05:10.632 --> 00:05:19.567 I got a chance to see the live stream of everybody else celebrating from different parts of the globe and, yeah, super cool experience Looking forward to next year. 00:05:21.341 --> 00:05:27.473 Second thing I wanted to bring up and mention and re-remind everybody we have built our own domain or tool called DomainXBT. 00:05:27.473 --> 00:05:28.785 I've talked about it quite often. 00:05:28.785 --> 00:05:39.995 Domainxbt exists not only as a chat GPT custom agent that you can talk to ask to help you build things, et cetera, but it is also now live on X from its own X profile. 00:05:39.995 --> 00:05:51.952 If you see it tweeting, auto-tweeting, anything like that, you can actually now interact with DomainXBT so you can ask it questions and it will answer you, and more features are to come. 00:05:51.952 --> 00:06:07.562 Again, I've made a commitment to continue to explore AI and what I can do to incorporate AI into, you know, not only iHeart domains but into general outreach for Web3 digital identity. 00:06:07.562 --> 00:06:10.853 And so DomainXBT is live and it's doing its thing. 00:06:10.853 --> 00:06:25.047 So, again, if you're looking for either Web2 or Web3 appraisals, if you're looking for any tools or tips or strategies to help build your portfolios or even build out websites and landing pages for any of your domains, you are free to use DomainXBT. 00:06:25.047 --> 00:06:34.985 It is a free tool, again on ChatGPT, or you can interact with it directly here on X and you can follow it at domain underscore XBT right here on X. 00:06:34.985 --> 00:06:42.685 And then, lastly, as always, our registrations are open for dgen, exchain and defi wallet. 00:06:42.685 --> 00:06:46.132 You can easily reach our registry at iheartdomainscom. 00:06:46.132 --> 00:06:53.711 If you're looking for an awesome Web3 digital identity to get started that will have future benefits and, trust me, they will have some future benefits. 00:06:53.711 --> 00:07:03.206 Go ahead and grab your Grail domain early on dot dgen, dot xchain and dot defi wallet and again, you can find the links to register any of those names at iheartdomainscom. 00:07:03.206 --> 00:07:08.829 Those are forever domains, so if you register a domain for as low as $5, you do own it forever. 00:07:08.829 --> 00:07:13.197 There are no renewals and you can mint it to one of any of eight blockchains. 00:07:13.197 --> 00:07:15.502 All righty, all righty. 00:07:16.262 --> 00:07:20.007 Now let's get into the main discussion Again. 00:07:20.007 --> 00:07:26.196 Looking at the top, you can see the title is Educating Our Future Generations. 00:07:26.196 --> 00:07:36.141 Once again, I do want to welcome everybody to our Tech Talk podcast where we break down the future of Web3 identity so that you can build it today Again. 00:07:36.141 --> 00:07:39.971 Today's episode is big, it's bold and I think it is long overdue. 00:07:39.971 --> 00:07:47.250 We're talking about something that affects every parent, every student, every school and every entrepreneur. 00:07:47.250 --> 00:07:51.430 Why Web3 must become a permanent part of the classroom. 00:07:51.430 --> 00:07:58.829 Not a quick workshop, not a guest speaker once a year, not that crypto thing you hope your kid figures out later. 00:07:58.829 --> 00:08:03.108 I mean real, integrated, future-ready education. 00:08:04.250 --> 00:08:19.459 Here's a quick stat, and this is the stat I found, Whether it's true or not, I don't know, but the stat says that over 400 million people now use blockchain-powered apps in some form, and most of them don't even know it, and this is how I've always predicted. 00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:29.413 Instead, that most people will get onboarded into Web3 is through an app that introduces them through a way that isn't crypto, but in an event, these things still have to be developed. 00:08:29.413 --> 00:08:36.235 99% of schools today they're still teaching this blockchain tech like it's 2005. 00:08:36.235 --> 00:08:38.908 It's like training pilots with bicycles it's outdated and it's unfair. 00:08:38.908 --> 00:08:40.559 It's like training pilots with bicycles it's outdated and it's unfair. 00:08:41.320 --> 00:09:00.884 The world is obviously moving to decentralized platforms and dApps, wallet-based logins, on-chain identities, digital credentials and even token economies, and if we don't teach our kids about this now, we're setting them up to merely be users and not builders, to consume the future and not to create it. 00:09:00.884 --> 00:09:10.951 So, before we go further, a lot of people listen to this podcast that I assume could potentially be outside of the space, maybe hearing what is this Web3 thing right? 00:09:10.951 --> 00:09:11.961 What is this really? 00:09:11.961 --> 00:09:17.969 So, before I go any further, I do want to simplify Web3 for anybody who listens to this in the future. 00:09:17.969 --> 00:09:25.885 Web3 is basically the next version of the internet and it's the version where you will own your identity, your data and your assets. 00:09:25.885 --> 00:09:44.895 Instead of logging into 50 websites with your email or handing over all of your personal info or clicking I forgot my password every other week, web3 gives you one wallet, one identity, it gives you full control over that data and it gives you direct access to apps and opportunities. 00:09:44.895 --> 00:09:48.365 It's like moving from renting your life to owning it. 00:09:48.365 --> 00:09:55.164 And the best part is that, despite the misconceptions, this isn't just useful for coders and crypto bros. 00:09:55.164 --> 00:10:07.913 This is extremely useful for artists, for designers, for musicians, for teachers, doctors, hr managers literally anyone who touches tech aka all of us. 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:17.326 Now I want

to kind of touch back on schools for a second, right now again, as I said before, web3 kind of gets treated like a guest star. 00:10:17.326 --> 00:10:28.453 It's like oh, wow, cool, let's do this blockchain workshop, but then one hour later, everyone gets a free sticker or an airdrop, goes home and forgets it ever happened. 00:10:28.453 --> 00:10:31.587 But that it's just simply not enough. 00:10:31.587 --> 00:10:32.650 It's not breaking through. 00:10:32.650 --> 00:10:37.250 We don't teach math or any other fundamental skills with a guest speaker. 00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:40.951 We don't teach internet safety once a year in a hallway. 00:10:40.951 --> 00:10:55.320 So why are we letting the tech that's supposed to be reshaping the entire world be treated like an afterthought, like let's, let's paint this picture, and this is a real picture that I got a chance to paint a little bit during, you know, the pizza day yesterday. 00:10:55.600 --> 00:11:01.307 This is an interesting conversation and I'm glad I got to show this in person to the future generations of who I'm talking about. 00:11:01.307 --> 00:11:04.893 But look at this picture In the next five years from now. 00:11:04.893 --> 00:11:07.216 Not even from the next five years, like right now. 00:11:07.216 --> 00:11:14.673 There are literally sites that have new careers, and more careers every single day are popping up extremely fast. 00:11:14.673 --> 00:11:15.879 That requires some sort of blockchain-based knowledge. 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:25.732 You're going to start seeing jobs like Web3 product manager or DAO community lead or token analyst or something like that. 00:11:25.732 --> 00:11:33.347 But even classic jobs like marketing and HR will need to understand at some point how wallets work. 00:11:33.347 --> 00:11:44.254 At some point in the future, you're going to have to understand what gas fees are, what it may mean to sign a transaction or how to verify somebody's resume or identity on chain. 00:11:44.254 --> 00:11:50.893 If your resume in the future says proficient in Microsoft Word, you're not future-proof. 00:11:50.893 --> 00:11:54.167 This isn't sci-fi, this is something that is already happening. 00:11:55.461 --> 00:12:02.605 Now let me transition into the big news that I left out until now, and this is where we intend to take our step and make our mark. 00:12:02.605 --> 00:12:11.008 We're done talking about just about how schools should teach the blockchain what we've done here at iHeart Domains. 00:12:11.008 --> 00:12:25.089 We've created a way to show them I'm extremely thrilled, and you can see pinned at the top of the space to announce my latest baby, what I've been working on for quite some time, and this is our Web3 Digital Identity Curriculum. 00:12:25.089 --> 00:12:40.388 Intended to be a groundbreaking classroom-ready course, it is designed for STEM schools, for charter schools and for vocational training programs, and it is designed to help bring the next generation into the world of Web3 and blockchain. 00:12:40.388 --> 00:12:43.400 This isn't theory, this isn't hype. 00:12:43.400 --> 00:12:48.682 This is a real course that will help prepare students for a real decentralized future. 00:12:50.346 --> 00:12:57.509 As you can see in the pin post at the top, this is a fully it's the full curriculum, so it is an eight-week course. 00:12:57.509 --> 00:12:58.942 These are broken into different modules. 00:12:58.942 --> 00:13:04.160 These modules cover again Web3, web3, digital Identity and blockchain from front to back. 00:13:04.160 --> 00:13:14.393 Although the title of the curriculum itself, and although kind of the overall focus or theme of the curriculum is based on digital identity, it literally covers a lot. 00:13:14.393 --> 00:13:18.544 It's a lot of fundamentals that you have to learn about blockchain and Web3. 00:13:18.544 --> 00:13:25.446 To understand how domains work, such as Web3 wallets, you need to understand NFTs and how ownership works on the blockchain. 00:13:25.446 --> 00:13:31.716 On-chain credentialing, how to interact and log into dApps. 00:13:31.716 --> 00:13:40.394 Also, blockchain verified certificates and other credentials that are again again stamped by ownership of your wallet. 00:13:40.394 --> 00:13:50.240 All of these things are things that we will cover throughout this curriculum Other naming systems, how traditional DNS works, what digital identity means, both off-chain and on-chain. 00:13:51.022 --> 00:14:01.727 To paint an entire picture not only of how to interact in Web3, but what the importance of Web3 is to begin with, right, what pain points does it solve? 00:14:01.727 --> 00:14:04.197 How does it help protect your future? 00:14:04.197 --> 00:14:05.681 How does it help protect your identity? 00:14:05.681 --> 00:14:11.001 How does it create a better, secure bridge for you to become monetized or to send and receive income? 00:14:11.001 --> 00:14:13.187 How does it create self-sovereignty? 00:14:13.187 --> 00:14:27.933 These are the things that we'll go through again at the school level, where people will absorb it most before they enter into the world as consumers, before they are forced only to interact rather than build this entire. 00:14:28.160 --> 00:14:57.515 This curriculum combines, again, live instruction, interactive tooling and hands-on projects to give students the skills needed, uh, to again progress into whatever other field or course of store, course of study enters the most, or their specific niche on the blockchain, one of the things that we're doing, and so another thing that I mentioned up at the top, and this is where the community that we've built and we've interacted here with here on X for the past couple years comes into play. 00:14:57.515 --> 00:15:06.988 We're actually going to kick off our curriculum with a one-time pilot cohort, so we're doing a sample class. 00:15:06.988 --> 00:15:12.291 This will be the first class before we release this publicly or

start pitching this publicly to institutions. 00:15:12.291 --> 00:15:19.330 This will be a one-time 10 student class, hand-picked and hand-selected for volunteers from our Web 3.0 Native community. 00:15:19.330 --> 00:15:23.962 This group will essentially test drive the program. 00:15:23.962 --> 00:15:32.203 They'll give feedback to battle test the course and they'll also become the first certified graduates of this new educational curriculum. 00:15:33.567 --> 00:15:34.331 Now here's the kicker. 00:15:34.331 --> 00:15:37.000 I know that people at Web 3 like to be incentivized. 00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:44.605 No one likes to do anything for free and it's extremely valuable feedback that we are receiving in return for you completing the course. 00:15:44.605 --> 00:15:50.802 So, again, as we recruit this class of 10 students and this team, students do need to dedicate to completing the entire course. 00:15:50.802 --> 00:16:04.417 Once they graduate, each student will receive what's called a reverse scholarship, which will be a reward of $100 USDC in addition to their on-chain certificate for completing this course and for giving us feedback. 00:16:04.417 --> 00:16:19.504 Because, again, every single interaction, every feedback, all of this will help shape this program to be more successful once it does enter into the school system and then, after this pilot, the plan is again to scale. 00:16:19.504 --> 00:16:36.114 To take the example, take the recording of this curriculum and begin to use it to demonstrate this to different schools across the nation, to any school that needs this curriculum, to any business that wants to teach blockchain or Web3 identity to their workforce. 00:16:36.114 --> 00:16:50.866 Wherever the next builders are is where we would like this curriculum to be, and we would also like to encourage anyone else who is a specialist in your field to start looking at education in the same way that we are looking at it as well, and this is going to take a collective effort. 00:16:51.059 --> 00:16:57.913 Again, we speak of education in almost every space that I've been on since I've been in Web 3. 00:16:57.913 --> 00:17:30.705 I think education gets brought up in every single one of them, and I don't know exactly what people mean or are speaking of when they say it, but you know, kind of looking at what's been produced after those conversations, I'm assuming that people think that education is simply just reading something or telling something about something, or just showing them one time how to log into something, but again, as I said, that's not the type of education that sticks and it only helps really the user base right, the people that are coming into the space as users. 00:17:30.705 --> 00:17:32.932 You're only educating them to get through it. 00:17:32.932 --> 00:17:42.909 The age group the period to start penetrating, to really get this into the hands of people who will build the next generation of apps, is to start getting this in the schools. 00:17:42.909 --> 00:18:20.390 And so we, as educators anybody in whichever field that you're in you know, in this case I'm in digital identity, if you're in AI, if you're in building DApps or launching tokens or NFTs or community building let's start collectively thinking how we can create different curriculum and courses that we can start introducing at the grade school level or the high school level, so that now, when the next generation of students does exit school and enters the workforce or enters into the consumer force, we don't have so much of an uphill battle explaining the benefits and the value of blockchain, and that's not only for us, but them as well. 00:18:20.390 --> 00:18:21.540 You know most. 00:18:21.682 --> 00:18:25.648 There's a lot of very lucrative careers that currently exist. 00:18:25.648 --> 00:18:28.094 That, again, they're very blockchain focused. 00:18:28.094 --> 00:18:35.291 They're for new up and coming companies that are focused completely on blockchain, and there's nowhere for students to currently go to educate themselves. 00:18:35.291 --> 00:18:39.007 There is no degree program that currently exists for blockchain. 00:18:39.007 --> 00:18:51.207 So how do we create that bridge, or bridge that gap between the education needed to bring in the next group of builders to help continue to grow these projects, and our workforce that doesn't know anything about it? 00:18:51.366 --> 00:19:04.647 And again, it's up to us, those of us who are KOLs, those of us who are industry leaders, those of us who have built these platforms, to create the curriculum ourselves and then start introducing it and implementing it ourselves. 00:19:04.647 --> 00:19:18.400 And so, in the spirit of, you know, being the best example that I possibly can be, we've created this curriculum on our own, to be a shining light and to be one of the first of our kind to start spearheading this initiative. 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:32.040 So, again, I humbly ask any of the people in our community doesn't matter what naming service you're from again and that's another thing too, I do want to put that out there that this is a non-biased course. 00:19:32.040 --> 00:19:39.487 This course is truly intended to teach the fundamentals of blockchain and digital identity, and it teaches it from all angles. 00:19:40.009 --> 00:19:48.557 It touches on all naming services, all the ones that are relevant to this particular course, and it touches on everything from a value perspective. 00:19:48.557 --> 00:19:54.868 None of this competition or one name service is better than the other, or any of that narrative is being sewn into this curriculum. 00:19:54.868 --> 00:20:08.301 So, no matter what naming service you're extremely bullish on, again I ask for your support to not only hype this up and to start creating, you know, some buzz around this, so that makes it, you know, a lot easier for schools to receive this. 00:20:08.301 --> 00:20:28.382 But also, if you want to participate in the cohort, again, we are going to have a public onboarding and selection process that gets announced here in the next few weeks, where you can enroll right If you want to go through this course, if you want to, you know, perfect your knowledge on Web3 digital identity and have a certificate to show at the end of it. 00:20:28.382 --> 00:20:35.554 We would love for anybody that can commit to going through this program and providing some feedback to help us do so. 00:20:35.554 --> 00:20:43.701 So, again, how do we prepare the next generation for a future that they may possibly already live in? 00:20:43.701 --> 00:20:49.800 We just answered it right by building something real, by building something teachable and tangible. 00:20:50.864 --> 00:20:55.574 Our Web3 digital identity curriculum isn't just a lesson plan, it's a movement. 00:20:55.574 --> 00:20:59.750 It's about putting ownership and knowledge in the hands of the student. 00:20:59.750 --> 00:21:12.787 It's about teaching sovereignty and about teaching decentralization in the classroom, and it's the start of an education that finally matches the speed of the innovation that we are currently pushing forth right now on Web3. 00:21:12.787 --> 00:21:21.627 If you're an educator, if you're a founder, a parent or a student, this is really your moment to help us build and help us grow in the space. 00:21:21.627 --> 00:21:30.490 Again, this is another invitation for you to join the pilot, to partner with us or even maybe sponsor or recommend a future builder to join the curriculum itself as well. 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.747 The next Steve Jobs won't be in a boardroom. 00:21:33.747 --> 00:21:38.520 He'll be in a DAO with an ENS name and a blockchain resume. 00:21:38.520 --> 00:21:40.926 We need to start preparing our space for that. 00:21:40.926 --> 00:21:43.512 We're not just imagining that future. 00:21:43.512 --> 00:21:45.383 We're currently onboarding it. 00:21:45.383 --> 00:21:49.353 Remember to always focus on your mission and not your conditions. 00:21:49.353 --> 00:22:00.492 And again, hopefully this helped lock in the importance of educating our future generation, and I look forward to playing our part in educating the future with our Web3 Digital Identity Curriculum. 00:22:00.492 --> 00:22:03.509 Remember to always focus on your mission and not your condition. 00:22:03.509 --> 00:22:05.567 Thank you for listening to our Tech Talk. 00:22:05.567 --> 00:22:08.101 I'll see you guys later on chain.
