MeWe: The Death of the Like + Drink with Mewe !
Date: Thursday, June 4, 2026
Time: 12:30 – 13:10
Where: Main Stage, Unicorn Factory Lisboa
MeWe is a privacy-first social network with 21M+ users - no tracking, no data selling. A Web3 social platform where users create, earn, and own.
We have the chance to welcome its CEO Carlos Betancourt on stage in Lisbon. Serial entrepreneur with nearly 20 years across finance and crypto, Carlos founded one of the first digital asset hedge funds before taking the helm at MeWe to lead its Web3 transformation. Come for the keynote, stay for a beer on the main stage ! 🍺
Description:
The Like button is dead. Between AI agents and click farms, a double-tap no longer proves a human is paying attention - it only proves a script is running.
In this keynote, Carlos Betancourt (MeWe) presents a radical thesis: to save the internet from synthetic social sludge, we must move beyond the Attention Economy toward a Social Economy - where the primary interaction isn't a passive signal of approval, but a direct, cryptographic transfer of value that serves as the ultimate Proof of Humanity.
The digital wallet becomes the new social profile. Money becomes the ultimate CAPTCHA. And a small gardening group of 200 people is no longer just a data point for ad targeting - it's a thriving micro-economy.
After the talk, MeWe invites the NFC crowd to stay on stage for drinks and conversation.
Speakers:
Carlos Betancourt - MeWe. Seasoned entrepreneur, executive, and digital asset expert.
