The Importance of Legal and Regulatory Aspects in Web3
One of the most crucial yet often overlooked aspects of the Web3 space is legal and regulatory compliance. As Mike emphasizes, navigating the complex world of laws and regulations is essential for any business, especially those in the Web3 arena. Staying up-to-date with the latest developments, adapting to new rules, and ensuring your business is compliant can make the difference between success and failure in the long run.

The Role of AI in Web3 and Blockchain Technologies
Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming an integral part of the Web3 space. Mike's company, Cluster, is currently working on AI technologies and plans to announce new products soon. He believes that blockchain can provide a trustless platform for AI technologies, ensuring that modifications and proofs are legitimate.
According to Mike, the adoption of AI in the blockchain space might take around two years. He predicts that after the current hype around AI subsides, there will be a surge of tangible products and real-life adoption, followed by a period of consolidation where only the most successful and innovative companies will survive.
