Notable Quotes

"I don't think Web3 is a foregone conclusion. I love technology, I love the opportunity, but there are a lot of technologies that I've been involved with in my career that are no longer around" -Sam [13:16]

“I just think that the blockchain does amazing things, and I'm very bullish on the blockchain, but a lot of people are trying to recreate things in Web3 that don't need to exist in Web3, but they put a Web3 layer, and they're like, this is going to happen.”- Sam [15:12]
