Welcome to this week's edition of Digital Bytes which has analysis on the following topics:
Are NFTs crypto assets? If so, why does it matter? - the boom in NFTs is keeping many consulting firms, lawyers and accountants busy as we see owners of IP almost falling over themselves to launch their latest NFTs. However, what would happen if regulators were to decide that NFTs are indeed cryptos or even securities? Would those consultants, lawyers or accounting firms have valid PI or other types of insurance in place if their clients were to sue them for not having advised them accordingly?
Digital Asset Management (DAM): overview and how it is integrating Blockchain - although Blockchain technology is not limited to financial transactions, it has many advantages over traditional transactions. It is for this reason that Bitcoin, alongside many others, uses blockchain in the management of financial transactions. In view of this, it is fitting to surmise that blockchain and DAM platforms have matters in common i.e., management of digital assets.
Web 3.0: understanding the internet sensation - as the human race evolves, the need for developed technology is continually apparent. Factors such as convenience, productivity, effectiveness, etc have played a crucial role in the need for evolution. The web is not excluded since evolution takes place at an ever-increasing pace, and its progression has automatically led to the advanced technology of the internet. This evolution of the web has been in the form of Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 - and Web 4.0 is almost upon us.
The growing importance of protecting our data and digital assets as our lives become ever more digitised - it is very well known and accepted by everyone that cyber threat is an evolving threat in every area of business and personal life. Cybercrime is the new burglary tool of choice for criminals. This is also true and even more pertinent where crime intersects the digital world. Crime, going back before fingerprints were matured and records stored on file, was difficult to solve and therefore security locks and alarm systems became the best way to prevent criminals from stealing goods and possessions. Since crypto wealth and assets only exist in the digital world, people have recognised that the current way to be secure is via new types of burglar alarms, such as system checkers, and move away from the old mantras of ‘remember to lock your doors and windows’ and instead have reminders to update and patch software, check for malware and lock down your exposure online.
