It feels like everyone just wants to log back into the internet of 1999. That ship has sailed though. But if you look at Web 3.0 and social networks like Peepeth, I see hope – on a site that puts everything irreversibly and forever on the blockchain and you actually need to perform, albeit micro, payments to act on this network, I expect spammers and troll farms to be unable to manage their evil operations economically. But who knows where we end up...
- TACIXAT 8y agoI like the idea of micro transactions for user interactions, I just don't love the idea of it being via a cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies convert electricity to currency, which is great for energy companies, but I would much rather use fractions of a cent than jump through the middlemen and waste to use a satoshi.
- dustfinger 8y agonot all crypo currencies require excessive electricity. Also, a micro transaction is not needed for every interaction.
- egypturnash 8y agoAn Internet where everyone has to constantly make micro payments just to use it kinda sounds like hell to me. We don’t need to have someone making a profit off of every single interaction. Are you comfortable with how your blockchain-based all-for-pay Web 3.0 would inherently bias any discussion in favor of whoever had the most money?
