Web3 – A Vision for a Decentralized Web
The web as it's understood by most people is about sharing messages, images, games, audio and video. Wasting time, having fun.<p>So why does all talk of Web3 always shoehorn in blockchain and smart contracts? Who cares about that besides crypto buyers, who are mostly conducting their business via clearweb exchanges anyway?<p>The best part of Web 1.0 era was that you didn't have to pay to access information beyond what your ISP charged. Ethereum and its dApps are pay-to-play. I'd be interested to know how many of the cited 7000 dApps offer free information, and not just overpriced digital trinkets.
