“If you’re ‘carrying’ bitcoin and have your key code, you can go to the other side of the world and, as long as you have access to a computer, recover your entire net wealth.” TALKING WEB3Īfter initially reaching out to former BBA President Alex Kim ’22, MSF ’23 in fall 2022, Ternullo met with Curry to discuss plans for an on-campus Web3 event.

Ternullo presents a simple, yet powerful example of how digital ownership can help communities facing barriers: Someone who is fleeing a dangerous situation, especially across borders, can maintain ownership over their digital assets (with a specific key code to unlock) versus carrying physical cash or gold that could be confiscated.
This can potentially create new opportunities for economic inclusion and innovation.” “Users can participate in decentralized networks, contribute resources and earn rewards in the form of tokens or cryptocurrencies. Removing friction from big entities, Curry says, introduces new economic models through concepts like decentralized finance (DeFi) - peer-to-peer transactions - and tokenization. “For the first time, we have sovereignty and control of our own data and assets instead of information being controlled and owned by Instagram, Facebook or other platforms.” “Web3 is an open Internet architecture that is powered by public blockchains,” Ternullo says. And her Bentley network connected her to an expert - Ternullo, a blockchain venture capitalist and partner at early stage Web3 venture Warburg Serres. Blockchain technology is driving the next version of the Internet: Web3. I since realized that blockchain was much more powerful than just bitcoin and its price appreciations.” “My curiosity was piqued by digital currency I got really excited when I saw Bitcoin shoot up from $3 when I was younger to $21,000. “I grew up with cryptocurrency and blockchain my father told me about it after he saw it on a YouTube channel,” says Curry, who is BBA president. Now, more than a decade later, the pair has teamed up to lead a Web3 event hosted by the Bentley Blockchain Association (BBA) and have plans to continue to explore how a decentralized Internet can help to create a more equitable ecosystem and empower users through personal ownership of information. Rebecca Curry ’25 and Sal Ternullo ’14, MSA ’18 first heard about blockchain in 20, respectively Ternullo was in his second year at Bentley and Curry was just 11 years old.
