Web1 is probably best remembered by geeks as chat rooms and IRC (which
still exist to this day, but only to power users). To normal users it
was the age of AOL dial-up and similar networks where you got web,
email, shopping, and chat all in one place.
Nostalgically recalled for chat rooms and IRC by tech enthusiasts,
signifies the era of integrated services like AOL dial-up, providing
web access, email, shopping, and chat for mainstream users.

<p class="font-body text-body text-2xl">
Web2 since evolved with the web browser and we got better gaming,
online apps, video streaming and calling and much, much more. However,
it also got quickly captured by Silicon Valley and what some refer to
as the "tech bros".

<p class="font-body text-body text-2xl">
So <i>despite</i> the innovation that occurred, it has turned into a top-down
system where only a few geeks/CEO's and their investors control your entire
web.

<p class="font-body text-body text-2xl">
This also excludes the wider internet infrastructure of domains and
ISP's (internet providers and hosting), who also play a part in
controlling your web, be it for your "safety", or other reasons.

<p class="font-body text-2xl text-body">
We get the birth of Bitcoin and all of the innovation that followed.
While BTC and a handful of other chains have remained decentralized
both in operation, and access, the innovation over time has caused
things to re-centralize.
</p>
<p class="font-body text-2xl text-body">
This is due to several factors including big money coming in, pushing
greed, hype, and "FOMO". The invention of several new logos's causing
this to only get worse, creating a classic "boom" and "bust". Human
nature tends to be greedy, so over time, money overrode principles.
</p>
<p class="font-body text-2xl text-body">
Many development teams prioritized inventing new ideas and "shipping"
them to users, while selling them "tokens" to exit at their expense,
all while knowing none of what they created was <i
>truly decentralized</i
>.
</p>
<p class="font-body text-2xl text-body">
It became one large crypto casino.
The advent of Bitcoin sparked innovation, but over time,
centralization increased. Factors such as the influx of big money,
greed, hype, and FOMO contributed to this trend. The introduction of
many money legos worsened the situation, leading to boom and bust
cycles.

<h3 class="font-display text-6xl">Web3</h3>
<p class="font-body text-2xl text-body">
What to say about Web3? Honestly... upfront it appeared to get used as
a new buzz word to replace "DeFi". Terms like "Web3" and "Metaverse"
have many different meanings to many people. It is intended to include
more than just money and trading, and yet every blockchain-based
system that can be labeled "web3" still builds onto of the same
centralized crypto/defi infrastructure.
</p>
<p class="font-body text-2xl text-body">
The end result is an ecosystem that promotes and <b><i>wants</i></b> to
be decentralized, but where money overrules ideology, ethos, and principles.
This is in part due to who's bankrolling it all, and thus the incentives
to build make it more about the money then about freedom.
</p>
<p class="font-body text-2xl text-body">
There needs to be a balance here between free markets/money and public
goods/infra, and so far things are way out of wack and need to be
fixed.
Web3 emerged as a buzzword to replace DeFi, but its meaning varies.
Despite aiming for decentralization, Web3 relies on centralized
crypto/DeFi infrastructure. Money dominates over ideology, driven by
funders. A balance is necessary between free markets and public goods
to address the current imbalance.
