Notes on Web3
We need to get specific. There is no web3. People aren&#x27;t going to just take everything from the crypto ecosystem and instead we need to talk about what is good and what is terrible.<p>Crypto currencies are terrible - or at least I have heard of no reason why people need them outside of ponzi scheming, ransomwaring, or your drug deal - especially since they are NOT cheaper to do transactions in and are NOT anonymous and are definitely NOT (yet) even close to green.<p>That said, things like distributed file storage (IPFS) and distributed identity are really interesting.  We really do need solutions around how we prevent China, Russia, and other governments from basically brainwashing folks through turning off any part of the internet they don&#x27;t like. I&#x27;m all-in on that part.
