Europe's Historic Opportunity: Reclaim the Internet's Wealth

Europe currently captures less than 3% of the internet’s vast wealth, despite its large base of users and developers. By adopting a user-owned model where individuals earn shares in the Apps they support, Europe has a historic opportunity to reclaim digital value and sovereignty.

The Future of Platforms: The Impact of AI and Blockchain

AI is revolutionizing platform creation, making it possible for anyone — even without coding skills — to build complex digital platforms using natural language and no-code tools. As technology becomes more accessible, success will depend less on technical sophistication and more on building engaged communities and fairly distributing value among founders, users, and investors.

The Key to Blockchain Success: Why Users Must Always Come First

In order for blockchain to succeed, it must shift from a "tech-first" to a "user-first" approach, similar to how companies like Apple and Amazon built their success by solving user problems. Current blockchain projects often fail to gain adoption because they focus on creating technology without understanding or addressing real user needs, leaving them irrelevant to the broader market.

Blockchain and Crypto: Repeating the Internet’s Early Mistakes

Blockchain and cryptocurrency are currently repeating the early mistakes of the internet, with a focus on technical jargon and speculative investments rather than solving real-world problems. To fulfill their potential, the industry must shift towards creating user-friendly applications that provide tangible benefits, much like the internet did as it evolved into a transformative force.

The Evolution of Platform Economics: From Exploitation to Shared Value

Platform-based businesses have reshaped modern commerce, but current models exploit users by concentrating profits with founders and investors, while users who create the value receive little in return. A shift towards more equitable platform economics, where users share in ownership, profits, and governance, could create stronger, more sustainable platforms and ensure that all stakeholders benefit.

The Internet Is Broken: Time to Reclaim It

The internet, originally intended to be an open, accessible space for everyone, has been overtaken by monopolies that exploit users and stifle creativity for profit. However, emerging technologies like AI and blockchain offer the potential for a decentralized, equitable future where creators and users are fairly compensated, and the internet once again becomes a space for all.
