Hi, this is Bill Sikkens host of User

Friendly 2.0 Saturdays here on The Answer
with this week's Tech Wednesday.
3
:
The term Web 3.0 refers
to the modern version of the internet
4
:
and among other things, this describes
the modern immersive systems
5
:
we have for graphics and sound
streaming videos, that type of thing.
6
:
And in line with that,
and a lot of the good technologies
7
:
that this is brought to us,
there's also scammers.
8
:
I know, spoiler alert, right?
9
:
What is such
thing is a game called Ember Sword.
10
:
And in this game
they were selling players, land characters
11
:
and other things using NFTs
and raised a lot of money doing it.
12
:
However, it didn't go into well, the game
never actually came into fruition,
13
:
and at the end of the day,
a lot of people were left
14
:
holding these NFTs that,
well, weren't worth a lot.
15
:
This week on User Friendly
16
:
2.0, we're going to be deep
diving into this and discussing this
17
:
and some of the other things
to look out for
18
:
and some of the creative ways
people have come up with to separate you
19
:
from your money.
