Worth noting that the term Web 3.0 was previously used to describe the Semantic Web, a revolution that seems to be largely dormant. https://www.w3.org/standard

  I was just about to mention that. At least it still lives on in the metadata used for Google smart snippets, and it's used a lot in the life sciences, and on wikidata. I really wish it went further, but at least it's still useful for most intents and proposes despite the small ecosystem.

    there is still _some_ activity going on, and an attempt to reboot the initiative, like with Solid (https://github.com/solid/solid https://github.com/solid/solid with Tim Berners Lee behind it, i believe) also 'semantic web' has become a bit of a loaded term.. 'linked open data' is now more commonly used (though this is a broader defined concept). --> i don't think blockchain will be web 3.0 (or higher version numbers for that matter) Web 3.0/4.0 might be The Decentralized Web, though
