Siu, who appeared on Tatler’s March edition, began the conversation by breaking down the evolution of the digital world: he said Web1 democratised information for the public through blogs and the media, which paved the way for Web2, where data is being managed by tech giants such as Facebook, Google and Tencent. Today, Web3 offers internet users digital property rights. “What that really means is that we get to own, essentially, our data in this paradigm,” he says.
