This model has become a source of income for users during the difficult times of COVID-19 when many people lost their jobs, impacting the lives of many people in the country.
"It's unfortunate to see the majority of the people around the world thinks Crypto is Blockchain, well crypto is just one of the use case of blockchain. I strongly feel blockchain will impact every sector from finance to real estate. Blockchain technology has the potential to bring about a fundamental shift in how we interact with the digital world. With its decentralized, transparent, and immutable nature, blockchain will bring greater trust, security, and ownership to the users. As we move towards a more decentralized and user-centric internet, blockchain technology is set to disrupt the Web3 space by bringing about significant changes in how we interact online." added Anirban.
