DSide's guest today is Joe King, a committed Web3 advisor and consultant with a focus on tokenomics, decentralized finance protocols, and Web3 gaming. He enjoys learning about innovations in the decentralized finance space and writing research papers that offer advice on fresh initiatives for businesses and DAOs. Joe possesses extensive expertise in DeFi, Real World Assets on the Blockchain, Token Allocation Models, and Tokenomics Design.
Joe King got involved in crypto currencies in 2016 and spent the next few years as a trader/investor with a focus on technical financial analysis. During “DeFi Summer” of 2020 he was hooked on what these decentralized financial tools could bring to the world and how Smart Contracts could revolutionize a large part of the Financial, Real Estate, and Insurance sectors. Joe believes (as do I) that Web3 will slowly swallow large parts of existing financial systems and he loves the idea of building the future.
In this episode, Joe talks about his journey through the world of decentralized finance and about crypto trading, exchanges, the particular applications of tokenized assets in real world scenarios and a lot more that can be possible with web3 in the future. DSide and Joe dig into exciting new DeFi projects and the challenges they face, real estate investing, the realities of real world assets on the blockchain, and Joe shares his visions of the future of web3. For the fun part, Joe talks about his early life as a chef in Aspen and his love for paragliding!
