Past, Present, Future of Web3
summary
A 10‑year company built the original blockchain.info explorer and a self‑custodial wallet that records 85 million installs and 40 million verified users across 200 countries, plus 2,000 institutional clients and $1.5B revenue in its best year. Claims: centralized exchanges fail repeatedly (FTX collapse), prompting 3.5× surge of funds into self‑custody and an 82% week‑over‑week inflow; hardware wallet sales climb. Notes recent $14B peak valuation, later down rounds, layoffs, and a 2024 Bitcoin halving as a catalyst.
