Web3 Stronger Together Challenge:

🔈 The Blockchain Recorded Podcast (i.e. BRP) is a media partner with the Web3 Stronger Together Challenge initiative. Our collaborative role extends to hosting topic-specific panels to facilitate discussion and perspectives within varying industries related to the Web3 space. 🔈

Main goals of the Web3 Stronger Together Challenge:

⚡️ The main goal is to demonstrate the powerful ‘Together’ effect. As I use to say, Together is much more than a word, it’s magic

⚡️ We aim to show to the whole Crypto industry and beyond that, the Web3 revolution is not about competition but rather about cooperation.

⚡️ You know, we are really supportive, welcoming, open-minded and inclusive, it’s not a marketing speech

⚡️ This initiative is also a way to confirm our long-term commitment, regardless of the bear or bull market situation, and our determination to keep on building, every day guided by a long-term vision and a humanistic philosophy
