What motivated you to join Thrilld Labs?
Thrilld Lab’s innovative solution towards a problem I'm familiar with: “networking”.
I often struggle to make new and truthful connections at events, and as soon as I came across Thrilld, I realised it was a game-changer.
I’ve personally met Alexandra, the founder of Thrilld Labs, and it's clear she really loves what she's doing; she's also a genuine person and that's what matters to me. I truly believe in Alexandra, the team and their mission. That's what led me to join Thrilld Labs.
What made you want to join the crypto space?
I initially joined the crypto space for the same reason almost everyone joins, "to make easy money.” It was during the last bull run of 2021, and the environment was still young and immature compared to where we are today.
Yet with the time passing by, informing myself and learning from my mistakes, I've changed my perspective on Web3 from a money-making machine to a breakthrough solution.
What technical or fundamental aspects do you find most intriguing about Web3?
Let me sum these up for you, as there are many:
● Owning your assets.
● Democratising the power the internet has and giving it back to the people.
● Regain your right to your privacy.
● Working towards a common goal instead of fighting each other for selfish reasons.
● Decentralising the gaming industry (Web3 gaming).
● Blockchain technology applied to manage and operate physical infrastructures (DePIN).
How do you see Web3 evolving in the future, especially from an adoption perspective?
I think Web3 will become much more intuitive. So easy to use that people won’t even realize they’re using blockchain, just like we don’t think about how the internet works today. That’s what will really drive adoption.
Blockchain will end up being part of everything (finance, education, even the military...). Things like plane tickets will be NFTs, and we won't need banks anymore to manage our money, thereby helping to solve global issues more efficiently and connecting us in new ways.
However, we’ll get to a point where challenges like centralization, control, and security risks will still be relevant. Despite the innovation, the technology is still shaped by human decisions, and that makes it unpredictable.

We couldn’t agree more!
Every wave of innovation brings its own set of challenges, with in Web3 human decision-making remaining very much involved despite any level of technological determinism we might observe in our industry. At Thrilld, we believe what truly matters is connecting with real people and believing in the growth and change that our industry brings. After all, it is people who are building the tech, and writing the rules of the game, so to speak. That’s why we’re thrilld to welcome Luciano to the Thrilld team and help contribute to the future of Web3!
Additionally, for those newer to the Web3 space, it helps to have a guide and someone to direct your questions to. While ChatGPT might be able to answer many questions, arguably, it loses the human touch. What we mean is there are some things that can only be learned as someone working in the space and with learned experience.
As such, to help others onboard and learn (and have fun!) in this global industry, Thrilld Labs has put together a Traineeship program, offering a good opportunity for students and young professionals to tip their toes in the world of Web3, its tech, and its very business..
