He begins by claiming to have coined the term "Web 3.0". Reminds me of when some other guy recently claimed to have coined the phrase, "priming the pump".
When I see a statement like this, one which seems clearly absurd, I have a hard time taking whatever follows seriously.
- nradov 8y agoTim Berners-Lee labeled the semantic web as "Web 3.0" in 2006. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web#Web_3.0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web#Web_3.0
- Slartie 8y agoWell, he definitely "coined" it as in "transform it into coins". Crypto-coins, to be exact, mostly of his own currency, which has seen a quite exorbitant rise in valuation, not in the smallest part based on exuberant hyping of this "Web 3.0", of which everyone really needed to be a part (by buying Ether) or they would miss out on the next big thing.
