About this episode

In this insightful clip from Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings sit down with tech visionary Jack Dorsey to discuss the technologies set to redefine our future—and why so many people hesitate to embrace them. Diving straight in, Rashad asks Jack a powerful question: Which technologies are flying under the radar today but could transform our lives in 5 to 10 years? Jack Dorsey shares candid thoughts on AI, acknowledging the widespread fear that it might replace jobs or stifle innovation. He argues that this “closed mindset” is what truly holds us back. Instead, Jack advocates seeing AI as a foundation—a tool for unlocking new levels of creativity and productivity and reclaiming precious time. His advice is clear: don't just take others’ word for it; hands-on experimentation is the key to understanding whether a technology can genuinely benefit you or your business. Citing the Bitcoin ethos of “don’t trust, verify,” Jack urges viewers to form opinions through experience and not be swayed by hype or second-hand perspectives. The conversation shifts as Troy asks Jack about decentralization, referencing the rise and, perhaps, fizzle of the Web3 hype. Jack pulls back the curtain on what he saw as repackaging older, centralized products under a new label—often driven by venture capital rather than any real technological breakthrough. He reminds us that every new tech wave arrives alongside massive hype, and the challenge for everyone is to ground themselves and ask: Does this tech solve a problem or add real value? Jack recounts the early days of the Internet—a frontier period marked by openness and decentralization. He laments how discovery and data creation ended up centralized in a handful of companies, tightening control over both users’ data and online identities. The good news, according to Jack, is that we finally have the technology for data portability, but it’s still inaccessible and unrefined—meaning huge opportunities for those looking to build solutions in this space! He also warns about AI’s rapid centralization, with just a few major companies shaping its future. These entities control not only the algorithms but also the intelligence itself—potentially determining how millions experience truth, creativity, and discovery. Jack stresses the need for open-source models and decentralized intelligence so the technology belongs to everyone, not just a few tech giants. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, an entrepreneur, or simply curious where the digital world is headed, this clip is packed with practical wisdom for evaluating new technologies and finding the right mindset for real, grounded innovation. *Key topics:*

  • Overcoming fear and skepticism surrounding AI
  • Why hands-on experimentation beats second-hand knowledge
  • Decentralization, data portability, and the lessons of early Internet history
  • Web3 hype versus true technological progress
  • The risks of centralizing AI—and the promise of open source models

*Watch for actionable insights on how to spot what’s real in tech, how to verify new tools for yourself, and why embracing openness is key for the future.* #MarketMondays #JackDorsey #AI #Bitcoin #Decentralization #Web3 #OpenSource #Technology #FutureOfTech #BusinessInnovation
