With more than 30 years of experience in the telecom industry, content delivery networks, and cloud services, Braham Singh is a seasoned executive leader, bestselling author, and global thought leader.

The current CEO of BDx Data Centers, Dinis highlighted Braham Singh’s multicultural and international exposure. After being asked by Dinis, Braham elaborated that during his early years in India, he found his foothold in programming. He, then, moved to Hong Kong, Singapore, and the US. He was delighted to share BDx’s recent presence in Indonesia, where the company had established six data centres across the country.

And when the discussion steered to his arc of achievements and projects, the discussion turned into a masterclass in leadership. Braham dispensed some of the principles that are salient for everyone:

“Timing is everything. You need to find the right people and at the right time.” He explained that decisions and choices shape the future trajectory of a person. “I think everyone should be fired at least once. It brings a level of humility and invigorates you. It makes you almost a new person.”, added another point to this lesson.

Balancing the multifaceted personality

Dinis was interested to know about Braham’s journey through various stages of his life. Commenting about his writer’s side, Braham told Dinis that he always found programming and writing follow parallel behaviour in terms of their structure and style.

“There has to be fanatical attention to detail while having the ability to look at a broader picture. The details of a plot are unforgivable. If the readers catch a mistake, they lose respect for you and the book.”, he emphasised.

The same thing, he said, translates to selling a product. He gives credit for his ability to close a deal properly to writing. “Writing has got huge dividends, and I would urge everyone to write. The ability to speak, convey ideas, and convey them on a paper is far more important than your degree. This is what I’ve learned in 30 years of my professional life,” he said.

Speaking about his idea of leadership, he says that every participant in a team is the driver of success. Hence, metaphorically explaining the importance of every member, he emphasised that it is the synergy that drives a project to success.

“We can’t divorce from any of these roles”, he concludes, highlighting that all these facets of personality go hand in hand and that one needs to make a choice to strike a balance between them.

Data centres in the metaverse and Web 3.0 era

The conversation, then, took a futuristic turn to discuss the state of data centres in the metaverse and Web 3.0. Both the experts agreed that the metaverse is a paradigm shift from URLs.

“When a technology explodes, you can’t control it. Internet…. Could anyone control it? But by and large, technology like the internet, nobody could control it. For a long time, before the internet became a video playground, almost 60% of the internet was pornography. Could anyone control it? If someone is thinking that the metaverse can be controlled, you’re kidding yourself. All you can do is scale, get yourself ready to scale with it,” Braham said.

Speaking about the problem that arises with the mushrooming of metaverses and the Web 3.0 space, he added:

“Where are we going to build? You are going to need a heck lot of data centres, far beyond what we are doing. It is not possible with the current technologies that govern power generation. It all burns down to power- powering those data centres is going to become so critical when the metaverse kicks in. You don’t have the power today, it’s just not there.”

Dinis, then, highlighted the ESG concerns like climate change and unsustainable power consumption. Speaking about carbon trading, Braham replied:

“We need to bring some credibility back into the carbon trade. The people who are connected through blockchain are working on it. We can’t do much about it until the human element is addressed.” 

Taking a reference from their modus operandi to address problems, he added that all the pain points need to be digitalised to find a sustainable solution.

As the interview drew to a conclusion, both Dinis and Braham had so many lessons to take home and learn from each other.

An ardent reader, renowned author, and globally accomplished influencer, Dinis Guarda brings fresh perspectives to light through his latest series, Booksabc, where he reviews the books that have the potential to shift the paradigms of our society.

“Books are really one of the most important parameters that reflect humanity and bring out the best in it. It is through books that you create narratives and visions. Books improve and optimize our performance, our businesses, our ideas, and our way of thinking. I always see books as an augmented reality of the way we look at perception and the way we can improve everything that we are about. It is a great way of focussing on ideas and topics for improving and learning,” he said.

BooksABC, The New Youtube Series By Author And Entrepreneur, founder of citiesabc.com openbusinesscouncil.org Dinis Guarda, Kicks Off With “The Metaverse Handbook” Review

After launching this series with QuHarrison Terry’s ‘The Metaverse Handbook’, he brings ‘Step Into The Metaverse’ by Mark van Rijmenam, a digital speaker, influencer, and author who is widely known in the technology world for his knowledge, insights, and strategies for businesses and future tech. The book focuses on the idea: how the immersive internet will unlock a trillion-dollar social economy. The Foreword is written by Jamie Burke, and is published by Wiley.

According to Dinis: “I think it is a powerful book, because it goes 3600 into the metaverse, and how the metaverse can create new narratives around our society.”

Mark Rijimenam’s vision of the metaverse on ‘Step Into The Metaverse’

‘Step Into The Metaverse’ creates a benchmark for key concepts like open metaverse, hybrid web, open economic system, and the immersive future. The book argues invariably about the paradigms of AR, VR, and XR, the concepts of interoperability, community-driven platforms of sovereignty, and the specialty of computer sciences.

Sharing the views of John Gaeta, creator, innovator, and executive, on the book, Dinis read out: “In ‘Step Into The Metaverse’, Mark van Rijmenam takes a comprehensive view of the converging forces that will fuse and someday become a future paradigm for human growth, prosperity, and existence.”

Dinis also read out the preface of the book, where Mark Rijimenam shares his vision and writes:

“I hope you will enjoy this journey as much as I did while uncovering this magical world where we are only bound by our own creativity. In this book, we will share my vision for the metaverse, what it can become, and how it will change our identity as well as how we play, socialise, shop, and work. If we manage to develop an open metaverse, the trillions of dollars generated will be shared with all creators and creatives.

But beware, there are dangers lurking on the road ahead that we need to think carefully about how to avoid the same mistakes as we did while building Web 2.0 or the social internet. I realise that every chapter of this book can be an entire book by itself as there is so much happening when it comes to the metaverse, and the world is constantly changing. However, I tried to keep it brief while covering as much as possible.”

Dinis highlighted the key points that make the book stand out in its category. Explaining the importance of topics like unbound creativity of creators, exponential enterprise connectivity, the creator economy, digitalisation of the metaverse, the future of the metaverse, and immersive experiences, Dinis said:

“I think it’s better to look at these topics, especially to understand better; of course, the future is what we write about, but it’s really important that we understand these things to leverage our lives.”

The post ‘Step Into The Metaverse’ By Mark Rijmenam Is a 3600 View In The Metaverse: Dinis Guarda On BooksABC Series appeared first on OpenBusinessCouncil Directory.

We are heading at a great speed toward an extremely nebulous future in which we will almost completely forget the beauty of human contact, of close looks, of conversations between human beings sitting at a small table, with nothing but a couple of cups sharing their bodies. The Metaverse is no longer just the name of a digital oddity concocted by some nerd, but a distinct and delineated reality, with a kind of physicality that is bursting forth and clearly noticeable, and that will in all likelihood decisively influence our present and future lives.

The prospect of creating a second virtual life for ourselves, punctuated by the rhythms of social networks and algorithms, seems to be permanently distancing what for centuries has represented the essence of relationships and interactions between human beings, namely the close and authentic contact between two people, formed by a silent complicity that is triggered even through imperceptible gestures and glances, which more than anything else contribute to constitute the main identifying characteristics of our species.

We are not saying that these elements have already been completely forgotten, fortunately we have not yet reached this point, but the clues at our disposal are too obvious to be ignored: thanks to the glittering and unpredictable universe of social media, the new generations (and the old ones as well) are becoming accustomed to a new kind of reality in which relationships between people are almost exclusively virtual, made possible through the power of an Internet connection.

New ways of working

The metaverse will not only affect our social and family lives, but also our work lives. In a sense, the most drastic change is bound to take place in the very field of work, in the world of work, which has already been put to the test by the terrible two-year global pandemic. For the past two years, due to force majeure, people have in fact become increasingly accustomed to working remotely, to smart working, spending less and less time in close contact with their colleagues.

Nowadays, meetings take place online, thanks to one of the many software programs that make such meetings and encounters possible, thus paving the way for what may happen with the Metaverse: a series of meetings and work encounters in which participants, now veritable ghosts of themselves, exchange opinions and considerations behind the virtual mask of their avatar, which is almost certainly destined to replace entirely the person it represents, rarefying him or her into a spectral image composed of extremely cold pixels and totally devoid of a human spark.

To avoid this drift there is an antidote, a digital remedy to be exploited whenever one has the opportunity, and that consists precisely in increasing one’s opportunities to interact with real people, possibly in real time and without the annoying mask of an avatar, even online. The Internet was not created to replace people with avatars, but to bring them closer together, keeping their human characteristics unchanged. It is in this spirit that the use of video calls and other virtual means of communication should be encouraged, without ever losing sight of the exquisitely human characterization with which all existing people in the world are endowed.

The value of people

To mistake the Web for a virtual dimension in which to build an alternative reality, different and according to some more exhilarating than the real one, is not only a very serious mistake, but also a blatant misunderstanding of the potential of the Web, which possesses the great ability to convey extremely positive messages and to transmit the best human characteristics, keeping them substantially unchanged and preserving their inestimable richness.

It is no coincidence that some brands have begun to offer virtual services or experiences in which human presence is absolutely crucial to consumer satisfaction: Just think of some of the best online portals dedicated to gambling, which, in addition to offering wide selections of online casino games and slot machines, allow players to play online roulette in India and experience a revolutionary mode of play such as that related to live dealer casinos, which make possible real-time interaction between the player and a live dealer, as if both were in a land-based land-based casino. The human presence is also intensely felt in the many guides on the site, which help each player begin his or her online adventure in a simple and extremely intuitive way.

The monstrous power of the Web may lead us to forget our true nature, projecting us into an unreal dimension that we have constructed, and that will provide us with all the illusions we need.

Create A Pleasant Impression

When clients or customers come to your place of business, first impressions are important. You want them to feel welcome from the moment they step into the reception area. If the lobby or entranceways are cluttered and disorganized, it can give the impression that your business is chaotic and not well run. A few comfortable chairs, a coffee table with some magazines, and a water dispenser or coffee machine can make all the difference.

You also want your workplace to look appealing to your staff when they arrive each day. You could consider having outdoor fountains outside the office, with an architectural style ranging from classical to contemporary. You could choose a wall fountain, one with pools, a cast stone version, or one that’s tiered.

Include A Staff Breakout Area

It’s never healthy if your staff have nowhere to go or if they eat their lunch at their desks. Breakout areas are important because they give employees a place to relax and take a rest from their work. This can help reduce stress levels and make the work environment more fun.

Here’s some practical advice:

• Provide amenities like coffee, tea, or snacks (ideally fresh fruit).
• Invest in a kitchen area complete with a fridge and microwave.
• Make sure there’s plenty of natural light.
• Offer comfy seating options like couches or armchairs.
• Add some fun elements like games or books.
• Make sure the space is clean and well-maintained.

Remove Distractions

Common work distractions include:

• cell phones and personal calls
• internet surfing and social media
• loud or disruptive co-workers
• being seated near photocopiers and printers
• being situated near doorways and meeting rooms

To avoid these distractions, try the following:

• switch off your cell phone, or put it into silent mode
• log out of all social media accounts
• talk to your co-workers about their noise level
• revise your office plan and seating arrangements

By removing distractions, you can create a more focused and productive work environment. You’ll be less likely to make mistakes and will be able to get more done in less time. In turn, the environment will become less frustrating and more enjoyable.

Create Clear Boundaries Between Work And Personal Time

In order to achieve this, it’s important to set specific hours for each. If you know you have to be at work from nine to five, don’t check work emails or take business calls outside of those hours. This will help you stay focused on your work during the day, and enjoy your free time in the evenings and weekends. Additionally, it will prevent burnout by giving you regular breaks from work.

Another option is to establish clear physical boundaries. That’s why we mentioned staff breakout areas earlier. If you’re a home worker, avoid using your bedroom as an office, or use room dividers to compartmentalize the area. Ideally, you should have a separate room that’s devoted to work use. Set clear ground rules for interruptions during the day, and finish working at a mutually agreed time.

Have The Right Equipment

In terms of computer systems and software, your office should have the latest and most efficient ones. If your employees are constantly struggling with an outdated system (e.g. that’s slow or keeps crashing), it’ll only lead to frustration and stress. Furthermore, make sure that everyone has the necessary equipment to do their jobs properly. This includes everything from pens and paper to printers and physical storage.

Ergonomic furniture is technically designed to lower strain on the body and enhance comfort levels. This can include things like adjustable chairs and desks, as well as footrests and back supports. By ensuring that your employees have access to ergonomic furniture, you can help them avoid discomfort and pain – both of which can lead to increased stress levels and work absences.

Celebrate Success

It’s important to do this in the workplace as it can help create a positive and fun environment. This doesn’t mean that you have to throw a party every time someone does something well, but acknowledging victories and saying thank you can go a long way. Some practical examples include:

• Congratulating employees during team meetings
• Giving staff recognition or awards for their achievements
• Celebrating milestones such as anniversaries or reaching targets

The employee of the month scheme is a great way to show your employees that you appreciate them. This can help to improve morale and motivation in the workplace, as well as foster a sense of competition and camaraderie amongst staff. Don’t be afraid to celebrate your employees – they’re your greatest asset and the key to your increasing success.

Encourage Communication

This is one of the most important things you can use to maintain a pleasant atmosphere at work. It allows employees to feel like they’re able to openly express themselves and their concerns, without being shot down or ignored. Additionally, communication enables managers to be aware of any potential issues so they can resolve them early on.

Regular one-on-one meetings allow employees to have dedicated time to voice any concerns they may have. Encouraging employee input during team meetings ensures that everyone feels like their opinion’s valued. Next, an open door policy signals that you’re approachable and accessible to employees. Finally, open communication enables you to appraise staff performance and convey your company objectives.

It’s worth going through each of these points again and applying any relevant areas to your company. In return for the time, money, and effort involved, you’ll be able to enhance the business environment. People will enjoy their time as never before, staff retention will improve and revenue will be raised.

However, it is precisely those users who want to get rich quickly that the con artists behind crypto trading bot scams are targeting. Unfortunately, scams such as Bitcoin Cycle aren’t worth your time and money, and are currently plaguing the crypto trading bot market and making users distrustful of even legitimate bots.

The short story about Bitcoin Billionaire is that it’s just another in the long line of trading robot scams. For the long story and evidence of fraudulent intent – read on.

1)   Ridiculous Promises

Claims made on Bitcoin Billionaire’s official website raise suspicion right from the start. Namely, this bot can allegedly predict crypto price fluctuations with 98% accuracy. But that’s not all. In the process, Bitcoin Billionaire has been making its users some $10,000 a week!

Simply put, today’s technology isn’t anywhere near being able to provide that kind of result. While such bots can indeed assist users, they’re not that helpful.

If these claims were true, Bitcoin Billionaire would have been all over the news worldwide. We’d all be using it before retiring to some tropical paradise to enjoy our new-gained wealth.

In addition, Bitcoin Billionaire allegedly comes with only two features – demo trading and live trading sessions. As the Bitcoin Billionaire review over on the specialized website Scammer Watch tells us, it is common for trading bot scams to completely disregard all the options we have become accustomed to with legitimate bots.

So, no reverse trading, no leveraged auto trading, no… you get the gist.

2)   Fake Reviews and Endorsements

Next, it’s time to check what people have said about their experience using Bitcoin Billionaire.

For starters, the scammers behind it claim that celebrities like comedian Jim Davidson are fans of this “trading bot”. But after a Google search, we can’t find absolutely any source to corroborate these claims. It’s safe to say that Jim Davidson has no idea what Bitcoin Billionaire is.

User testimonials on Bitcoin Billionaire are just as fake as celebrity endorsements. With the assistance of the Google Lens service, we find the same images elsewhere online. However, this time, the names are different. These are obviously stock images utilized by scammers.

The same goes for positive user reviews on Trustpilot. They instill zero confidence in their legitimacy, as they’re all written in an overly generalized manner.

There are no details mentioned whatsoever, just immoderate praise of Bitcoin Billionaire, which appears to be a miraculous product that will completely change your life. In truth, it will just drain your wallet of funds.

3)   No License

But looking at traders’ experiences elsewhere, we find that there’s a high probability of Bitcoin Billionaire being affiliated with the known forex scam, 365CapitalMarkets. Namely, the con artists behind these two scams have been sending e-mails whose content is remarkably similar.

While that may not be much of a proof, 365CapitalMarkets has been linked to other trading bot scams in the past, including Bitcoin Bank, Market Master, and Crypto Cash Fortune. Unsurprisingly, this fraudulent forex company was blacklisted by many crypto platforms.

While we can’t claim that 365CapitalMarkets is, indeed, behind Bitcoin Billionaire, there’s another lie that’s relevant for this discussion.

Bitcoin Billionaire, the scammers say, operates out of Cyprus and its brokers are CySEC-licensed. However, looking at the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission public database, we can’t find any mention of it. The logical conclusion is that Bitcoin Billionaire isn’t licensed after all and is, in fact, most likely run by 365CapitalMarkets.

Final Words

Unfortunately, with so many trading bot scams out there, crypto traders who are interested in automated trading solutions need to be very careful. Generally speaking, it’s a good idea to visit Scammer Watch when choosing such a bot, in order to ensure that you’re not about to put your trust and funds into a scam.

And Bitcoin Billionaire definitely is one such scam. While none of these red flags constitute proof on their own, together, they leave no room for doubt. There are so many telltale signs that we can give only one piece of advice to readers: don’t use Bitcoin Billionaire.

Green card application forms are pretty standard. So, unless you follow the most up-to-date procedures and laws, you can easily make mistakes that might cause delays in your application process. Depending on the seriousness of the error, your case might be denied.

This is why you must pay attention to every detail throughout the application process. So, read on to find common immigration mistakes people make. This will help you avoid them.

1.  Not using the right help

Immigration applications are pretty complex. Due to this, you can easily make little mistakes that might end up delaying the process of your immigration application. This is why you must work with knowledgeable and experienced people who know what to do and are committed to ensuring your success.

So, say you intend to file an immigration application from Louisiana, Louisiana – based immigration attorneys would be in the best position to help you through the process. Immigration application isn’t a learning experience where you can make teachable mistakes.

An inaccurate and misfiled information can cost you your application. Though professional help might seem very costly, the elimination of additional fees and time lost that would have occurred due to the misfiling of an application would make hiring an attorney worthwhile.

2.  Not submitting every paperwork

The immigration application process involves government forms. But, you are also required to submit other paperwork called supporting evidence. These documents are paperwork that can help prove something about you. For instance, a utility bill would prove that you have an address.

A marriage certificate would show that your marriage is valid, and an arrival-departure record shows that you legally entered the country. You are required to only submit copies of these supporting documents, except the USCIS specifically requested for the original.

So, when submitting your immigration application, you must ensure that you submit every required supporting evidence. An excellent idea would be to have a checklist. This will help you know what you need, so you don’t miss out on anything.

3.  Not filing your criminal history

During the immigration application process, the USCIS would run a background check as part of the application process. So, you must assume that the Department of Homeland Security would find out and know about any criminal history you might have.

So, if you aren’t sure of your criminal history, maybe because it happened long ago or there are several arrests, and you can’t keep count, then you need to hire an experienced immigration lawyer. The lawyer would help you perform a background check, check records, and provide a legal opinion on the potential consequences of the criminal records.

If you consult with an immigration lawyer and then file your application, its success would hugely depend on perfectly answering specific questions and providing the correct documents. In all these, the advice of an immigration lawyer would be invaluable.

4.  Giving false information

Sometimes, you can accidentally provide the wrong information in your application. However, the USCIS would not accept such an application even if it was a mistake.

Due to the high stakes involved in naturalization and immigration applications, it is pretty standard for people who give wrong information to defend it as an honest mistake. This is why the USCIS is very suspicious of any misrepresentative or inaccurate information.

As stated above, failing to provide criminal records would likely be seen as you intentionally hiding information that would be damaging. Missing historical details or incorrect dates will also be seen as evidence of you purposely misleading the government officials.

This is why you must be very careful to double-check every piece of information you provide in your application and your supporting evidence.

5.  Not signing your application

Sometimes, people tend to forget to sign their application in the right place. Unfortunately, forgetting to sign your document correctly can be quite frequent. This might be due to the complicated and lengthy nature of the applications. Depending on your application type, there might be about three or more places where you need to sign your name.

For instance, in naturalization applications, there are places where you (the applicant) would need to sign at the time of filing. There is also a place for the translator and attorney to sign. Also, you must sign at the time of the examination.

In the case of an adjustment of status immigration application, there are forms that only the Petitioner, the Beneficiary, and joint sponsor for affidavit support must sign. When a wrong signature occurs, it can lead to delays. It can even result in your case being denied.

Sometimes, you might even sign on every dotted line, but there is a chance that you placed the wrong signature on the line. So based on your confidence level, you can avoid this problem by double-checking your application forms.

But, if you are bothered by making mistakes, you should hire an experienced attorney familiar with immigration processes. They would help you save time and money and also avoid these issues.

6.  Sending wrong payment for filing fees

Most forms that you would submit to the United States government for immigration benefits need payment for a filing fee. You can not start processing your paperwork unless it contains the right filing fee amount in United States Dollars.

Filing fees periodically change, so it is vital that you know the appropriate amount and then add it to the filing. Your application will be rejected if it does not contain the proper filing fee.

Conclusion

The United States of America is well known for accepting foreign immigrants from different countries. They even have a larger immigration population when compared to most countries. The primary aim of most immigrants is to either become U.S. citizens, obtain dual citizenship or get a green card.

However, it would be best to avoid common mistakes you might make during your application process. Having errors in your application can reduce your chances of success. So, you must know the rules to ensure your immigration application is successful.

Understanding the above mentioned mistakes will help you know what mistakes you shouldn’t make in your application process.

Through billions-worth acquisitions, Web2 tech giants assert themselves in more and more sectors, from healthcare to Internet of Things appliances, prompting concerns of pervasive user surveillance. This expansion provides for more centralized control over an increasing number of aspects of users’ daily lives, oftentimes unbeknownst to the users themselves.

Rising as an alternative to centralized platforms, Gaia-X is a pan-European cross-sector consortia group for a more open and democratic data infrastructure, bringing together more than 300 companies and organizations, including top industry names such as Bosch, Continental, and Airbus. Gaia-X’s 19-member moveID consortium is focused on innovative solutions for decentralized digital identity and decentralized data sharing – real-world mobility use cases for blockchain technology, placing it at the foundations of real-world services and processes. Secure and verifiable digital IDs are a crucial foundational feature that will enable all mobility participants – humans or machines – to identify each other, transact, and interact between themselves without mediation from centralized third parties and the associated fees and privacy concerns.

As part of the collaboration, the participating Web3 projects will take on the following roles to put decentralization and openness at the core of the digital infrastructure of the future:

• Chainstep, one of the leading deep tech companies for enterprise implementation and connection of DLT, IoT, and Machine Learning, will develop connectors to build the link between the digital and physical world. The company is developing a solution for connecting Edge IoT (V2X) devices securely to the Gaia-X cloud platform. Self-sovereign identities (SSIs) work as the basis for decentralized integration security, allowing removal of the single point of failure in relying on a centralized authorization provider.

Konstantin Graf, CEO Chainstep, says: “We need easy-to-use applications with high value in the real world and everyday life. A Web3 infrastructure is very important for Europe. I believe in ecosystems and cooperation as the only way European companies will stay competitive.”

• peaq, the Web3 network powering the Economy of Things, will conduct intense research and development within the project. peaq will further build up its layer-one blockchain in line with the co-created requirements and standards, aiming to grant Gaia-X’s moveID the perfect infrastructure for decentralized mobility applications. peaq will also provide its core functions: peaq ID – Self-Sovereign Machine Identities (SSMIs), peaq access, and peaq pay. peaq is built using Substrate and will soon be live on both Kusama as well as Polkadot. It is working on enabling collaboration and interoperability with the Ethereum and Cosmos ecosystems for other Web3 consortia collaborators in Gaia-X.

Siddharth Singhal, Director of Enterprise at Parity Technologies, says: “Web3-enabled platforms will play a crucial infrastructure role as we build the future of the IoT industry. We are proud to see Polkadot playing a crucial role serving pan-EU citizens via moveID partners and expect greater Web3 adoption in this vast industry.”

• Datarella, a Web3 company builder, will co-develop the infrastructure for decentralized digital identities and data sharing, leveraging SSI components and Autonomous Agents. To ensure a future market acceptance of applications based on moveID, Datarella also contributes its experience in Web3 mobility applications, such as MOBIX.

Michael Reuter, CEO and Founder of Datarella, says: “Europe needs a resilient, sustainable Web3 infrastructure that allows for privacy-preserving, autonomous applications serving all European citizens. The moveID partners are committed to make this possible.”

• 51nodes, a Web3 developing and integration company, brings to the project its experience with SSI architecture and implementation in the context of decentralized mobility infrastructure. In addition to the development and integration of various SSI technologies, the focus of work will be on SSI interoperability challenges.

Jochen Kaßberger, CEO/Co-Founder of 51nodes, says: “At moveID, we are working together with great partners on digital infrastructure for V2X use cases using decentralized digital technology. We are excited to be part of the integration of digital mobility in Europe.”

• Through BigchainDB, Ocean Protocol – the Web3 platform to unlock data services for AI and business innovation – is providing technical infrastructure for moveID to expedite the development of a decentralized digital identity infrastructure for European mobility. Essential components of Ocean’s decentralized data marketplace technology, Compute-to-Data, and data pricing mechanisms are being leveraged to build a system architecture that ensures a seamless exchange of information between providers and customers of mobility applications.

Bruce Pon, Ocean Protocol Founder, says: “Secure data processing is critical to the future of mobility. Via BigchainDB, Ocean is proud to support the moveID initiative with the technical elements needed for building digital identity infrastructure and help enable an inclusive Data Economy.”

• Fetch.ai is developing the infrastructure and tooling for creating Web2 and Web3 AI applications. Fetch-ai Network has a Cosmos SDK based self-sovereign blockchain ledger and the supporting tools for developing DApps on the network and also the modular Autonomous Economic Agents (AEAs) and the Digital Twin Platforms that can efficiently and securely communicate peer-to-peer and provide interconnectivity with multiple networks.

In the context of Gaia-X’s moveID, the AEAs and the Agent framework enables decentralized identities (SSI), and can run on edge devices in a decentralized microservice architecture. All the products support cross-chain interoperability which will help achieve Gaia-X’s vision to support many new multi-stakeholder mobility applications.

Humayun Sheikh, Fetch.ai Founder and CEO, says: “We are excited to support Gaia-X’s moveID project that has the potential to reshape the future of mobility. We look forward to working with other technology and industry partners who share our belief in Web3 technology’s potential to unlock innovative and new collaborative business models.”

• deltaDAO AG, a web3 software development, integration and consulting company, will co-develop decentralized data infrastructure and federation services in the context of the broader Gaia-X ecosystem. deltaDAO AG contributes its extensive knowledge regarding Gaia-X compliance, interoperability, and integration.

Frederic Schwill, deltaDAO AG Co-Founder, says: “We believe that Europe needs a more sovereign, resilient, and sustainable data infrastructure, enabling value creation and new sustainable mobility business models. We are thrilled to be joining the moveID project and build, together with our partners, towards the future of decentralized mobility.

“Web3 technologies offer a promising digital foundation for future mobility solutions,” says Peter Busch, Product Owner for Distributed Ledger Technologies (Mobility) at Bosch. “With MoveID, we are setting the foundation for a hyper connected mobility infrastructure by leveraging self-sovereign device identities and decentralized data sharing to enable hundreds of potential use cases. We are thrilled to be exploring this exciting prospect side by side with some of the leading projects in the decentralized space such as Fetch-ai Network, peaq, Ocean Protocol, Datarella, 51nodes, deltaDAO, and Chainstep.”

After the success of his youtube podcast series, with more than 12M views, Dinis Guarda presents BooksABC, a new series where he reviews meaningful books that are changing the way we understand technology and society as a whole. More importantly, these are books that he loves. Dinis Guarda is an avid reader and writer and believes books are there to inspire and teach us. The first episode is available now on YouTube.

Throughout his career, Dinis Guarda has published numerous books and articles, and has been interviewed for media outlets such as IrishTechNews, O’Reilly, and Forbes. He is the founder of digital news sites intelligenthq.com, tradersdna.com, hedgethink.com, openbusinesscouncil.com, cityam, and more.

As an author, Dinis is well known for his book with Rais Hussin, “4IR AI Blockchain, FinTech,  IOT – Reinventing a Nation” and “Blockchain, AI + Crypto Economics – The Next Tsunami.” Additionally, he is about to publish a new book, “NFTs Uprising – The citiesabc Ultimate Guide To Non-Fungible Tokens”. With this new series, Dinis tries to give voice to outstanding books, ideas and authors.

The series kicks off with the newest book by QuHarrison Terry and Scott Keeney: “The Metaverse Handbook”: a one-of-a-kind resource for C-suite executives, business leaders, and creative professionals who seek to understand what changes the Metaverse will bring. With a foreword from Paris Hilton, who does not require any introductions.

The Metaverse Handbook, as Dinis explains, expands on the following topics: 1) What the metaverse is, why you should care about it, and how to build your metaverse strategy. 2) The history of the metaverse and primers on critical technologies driving the metaverse, including non-fungible tokens, XR, the blockchain, and web3. 3) How to unearth unique metaverse opportunities in digital communities, commerce, and immersive experiences.

The book is accessible to everyone, Dinis says. It is easy to understand, with concrete examples and applications, and uncomplicated language. Perhaps it would not have made such an impact, if not for the fact that the authors are world-famous influencers.

QuHarrison Terry, whom Dinis previously interviewed on his podcast, is an author and digital global expert growth marketer. QuHarrison is head of growth marketing at Mark Cuban Companies, a Dallas, Texas venture capital firm. A well-known personality in LinkedIn and digital marketing, QuHarrison previously co-authored the NFT Handbook, a detailed guide on how to create, sell and buy non-fungible tokens without the need to have a technical background.

Scott Keeney is an award-winning creator, producer, entrepreneur, media personality, investor, philanthropist, and futurist. As a driving force behind some of the most influential brands and artists over the past two decades, he is a pioneer in the metaverse operating multiple experiences as the founder of DXSH.mv Studios and also serves as the Chief Metaverse Officer at TSX Entertainment.

QuHarrison described the vision of the book, pointing out that it is important to remember that the Metaverse is not just a single technology.

“The Metaverse is not a single technology. It’s not just a place we’ll visit in VR. It’s not something that can be created and claimed…The Metaverse is about as boundless and unownable as the Internet, if not more so. Sure, there are entities that have contributed more to the Internet than others. Of course, there are innovations that steered the course of the Internet and influenced the experience of the Web. But we didn’t wake up one day with the Internet we see now. It was an ever-evolving thing.

In that sense, the Metaverse is not a destination. The Metaverse is a movement—a movement toward the digital-first livelihood we’ve slowly been adopting year over year, app by app. The Metaverse becomes more real every time we replace a physical habit with a digital equivalent. We, the digital citizens of the Internet, are manifesting the Metaverse by trading time in meatspace (the physical world) for time online.”

The BooksABC series started off on a high note. It will be interesting what the next episodes will bring. Similar series have proved successful in the past, including NPR’s Book of the Day. NPR, Well-Read Black Girl. Pushkin, Debutiful. DDinis can channel his interest in technology to reach his own specific segment of readers.
