For those who might not be deeply familiar with blockchain, can you explain why it's so crucial in today’s digital age?

This would be a great opportunity to discuss blockchain’s application and success stories, including any you may have played a role in.

What are some of the most innovative projects or products your company is working on right now? How do they address current market needs?

Don’t be shy! Feel free to brag and tell readers of your achievements so far.

What are the biggest challenges your company faces in the crypto/blockchain space, and how are you planning to overcome them?

This would be a great opportunity to talk discuss any potential regulatory hurdles or those related to customer onboarding or perception of web3 as a whole.

How do you envision Web3 transforming the internet as we know it? What are the key benefits and potential drawbacks of this transition?

This would be a great way to discuss how Web3 stands out or compares against Web2. Are there any traditions you would want the world of web3 to adopt from the web2 world? Are there any challenges to transition from web2 to web3?

Can you explain some of the technical advancements that are making Web3 possible? How can developers get involved in this space?

This would be a great way to discuss any academic paper or research, particularly if your start up is based on such research. Got a calling card? Let developers know!

How do you think influencers and social media personalities impact the cryptocurrency market? Do you see this as a positive or negative trend?

TikTokers, Instagrammers, X (formerly Twitter) accounts -- how are they shaping the discourse? What do you think is happening? Are these platforms credible sources for information?

What do you believe are the strongest arguments in favor of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology? How do you respond to critics?

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies do have their detractors. What’s an argument or rationale you use to convince naysayers or those on the fence about blockchain and crypto?

What advice would you give to someone who is just starting to explore the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology?

Any sources to check out? Any media sites to visit? Any X (Twitter) accounts to follow? Share the deets!
