The Challenge of the Information and Data Economy.
In our digital world, information, data, and engagement have become the new oil.
However, there's a crucial difference: while oil is sold by those who extract it, data and information are often extracted and sold without the consent or compensation of their true owners - the users.
Every second, we generate a vast amount of information as users, yet:
We lack ownership or control.
We're unaware of how they are collected, used, or sold.
Despite the immense value generated, we don’t see any profit.
On the other hand, companies face their own challenges:
They pay dearly for this low-quality information.
They struggle to truly understand and engage their consumers.
They face privacy challenges and increasing regulations, like GDPR and CCPA.
We're talking about a 3 TRILLION DOLLAR industry that largely profits at the expense of users. A few giant companies dominate and control this wealth, while most people, whose information fuels this economy, get nothing in return.
The Vision of a Better Future
Jaron Lanier, in "Who Owns the Future?", envisions a world where individuals are fairly compensated for their data. With the evolution of Web 3 and decentralized technologies, this dream is becoming a reality.
Cointimes is the Solution
Cointimes seeks to correct this imbalance, giving users control and compensation for their information and data, while providing companies with high-quality data collected in an ethical and transparent manner. It's time to redefine the data economy for a fairer and more balanced future.
