Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Dan Sutherland, founder and CEO of Self. He is a serial entrepreneur who previously founded the cloud service provider, Carrenza, which was acquired by Six Degrees in 2016.
Welcome to the 121st episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on November 23rd 2022. Dan fills us in on the technology stack from Self giving users security and sovereignty over their own data. Self is doing so much that you can’t afford to miss a single second so stay tuned.
I'd like to apologize for some of the sound issues you might have heard. There was a thunderstorm at the time of the recording hence the issues. Thanks for your understanding.
Thanks everyone for listening and don’t forget to tune in next week where we interview someone else in the cryptocurrency universe.
Topics Covered Today:
Dan, let’s start broad. What happened to crypto this year? Why do you think it happened this way? How do we restore the public’s confidence in the industry?
Let’s move onto Self. From what I understand you used blockchain tech (Web3) to build Self. Am I right? How did you do that?
The site is also really awesome with great art that answers people’s problems. Why did you decide to keep it simple?
So if we haven’t talked about this yet. What does self do? Where did the inspiration come from? Why did you tackle security in this way?
Looking at the business side of self. Authentication starts from 0.005 cents. That’s relatively cheap. Why do you think this is such a game changer for businesses?
What's the uptake like? One of the things I’ve heard recently is that you need a significant mass of people to join any social network in order for it to be successful. How are you planning to do that? Or do you need to do that?
What’s something that makes Self unique, how would you convince someone to give it a try?
