Slow Pace. Bear Market. Study. Call for Papers

Period: July-September 2022 (three months in total)

Are you confused about the Web3 world? For example, why is there a bear market? Are Cryptocurrencies a Tulip Bubble Economy? Is money on exchanges less trustworthy than traditional banks? How to control the risk of derivative financial products in DeFi? How are DAOs similar to traditional corporations or democratic politics? What does the wallet public and private key mean? Why does everyone want you to "learn Web3 knowledge"?

This activity promotes reading/online courses/any study methods, trying to self-answer or even re-adjust the original questions in the process. The following 3 steps are required:

1. Commitment: Before starting each study experience article, you must go to the Matters Lab Discord "🌌︱web3world" channel to put forward your own questions, or the field information you plan to study; at this stage, we suggest that the board members suspend the questions, but only relevant references.
2. Study: Participants are welcome to come back to this channel and ask questions at any time if they encounter any doubts during the study.
3. Publishing: The final completed article needs to be "first published" in Matt City, and then reposted and linked to the channel to be completed! Everyone is welcome to participate in the discussion; it only needs to be published during the call for papers; it can be published on other platforms or on your own blog at least a week after the first publication.
