No need for banks! It’s all decentralized! The future of money! But when it comes down to actually getting people from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0, there are some blockers — it can be incredibly difficult to explain to non-tech savvy people how this new world works. Beyond just explaining how the Bitcoin blockchain can’t be "hacked" and what are private keys vs. public keys, now we have to explain why you can’t just copy and paste an NFT. Weirdly enough, it’s Web 2.0 technology that often acts as the [bridge]( to bring in new people — things like airdrops take advantage of Web 2.0 infrastructure to showcase what Web 3.0 products can do. But this week, another crypto project came up with an even more retro idea — in order to get people into Web 3.0, what if we enticed them with something even more antiquated than Web 2.0? What if they reached even further back to….the brick and mortar era! Solana NFT project Neon is going this retro route — by [installing]( an NFT ATM. That’s right, a physical ATM in New York City’s Financial District where you walk up, choose a row number from the racks, swipe a credit card and reach down to open that little flap to pull out a small box. Within this physical box will be a QR code that you scan to get your randomly selected NFT. This is a prime example of bringing a highly complex technological idea — owning a digital, non-fungible item minted on a decentralized ledger — into an incredibly digestible form that is accessible to pretty much everybody. Buying an NFT at one ATM, buying a Coca-Cola at another, popping around the corner to the BTC ATM…the possibilities are endless.
