Web1

+
+

+ 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. +

+
+
+
+ +

Web2

+
+

+ 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". +

+ So despite 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. +

+ 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. +

+
+
+
+ +

Crypto & Defi

+
+

+ 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. +

+ + 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. + +

+ + 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 truly decentralized. +

+ + It became one large crypto casino. +

+
+
+
+ +

Web3

+
+

+ 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. + +

+ + The end result is an ecosystem that promotes and wants 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. + +

+ + 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. +

+ What is the Web? +

+

+ Why Web3 matters +

+

+ Web3 often gets mixed up with other terms/buzz words such as "crypto" or "defi". However, the current web + you use now is often referred to insiders as "web2". +

+

+ While Web3 can include many decentralized services, it symbolizes the multiverse, or the entirety of all + decentralized & P2P networks. Some may refer to this as the "metaverse", or even "dweb", but we can agree to disagree 😉. +
