I'm endlessly amused by some people in the crypto sphere attempting to force Web 3 / Web 3.0 onto crypto. It's an absurd hype attempt.
That term was already used for the semantic Web and what it was supposed to unleash, beginning over a decade ago. It was still being used for that as recently as a few years ago (although increasingly being shifted to include AI/ML, since the old premise of a semantic Web is no longer considered cool). For example:

- lazzlazzlazz 5y ago"Semantic Web" didn't make a lot of sense. The current Web3 thinking isn't being forced onto crypto: "Web3" has (for years) been part of a grassroots effort within crypto to explain and expand crypto's impact on the internet beyond financial applications. Some examples: [1] well-known foundation for crypto development: https://web3.foundation/ https://web3.foundation/ [2] work of art that explains Web3: https://zora.co/tmw/2907 https://zora.co/tmw/2907 [3] recent Web3 wrap-up from xlr8r: https://xlr8r.com/news/web3-weekly-wrap-the-hundreds-sell-out-fwb-and-zora-hackathon-m-%CE%BE-t-a-p-l-%CE%BE-x-with-c-a-and-more/ https://xlr8r.com/news/web3-weekly-wrap-the-hundreds-sell-ou...

- Daishiman 5y agoYes, a post-hoc rationalization of trying to create demand for something that solves no practical problem. It's as if these people weren't around when DeviantArt was created; their complete lack of aesthetic taste shows how little they are interested in making a viable medium for artists.
