- beepbooptheory 5y agoDo you really still think that is what's happening still in our horizon? Web3 seems to promise smaller, balkanized services, compared to social media monoliths we have now, in the service of, presumably, creating self-governing groups communities/businesses. At least I think that's the idea? Isn't twitter already society expressing ideas? If anything this idea is "better" by being more vague.
- dehrmann 5y agoWeb3 will be to Twitter et al. what Bitcoin is to the dollar. Expressing ides as plenty easy on Twitter, so these balkanized services will only be used for hate speech, organizing criminal activities, and CP. Legitimate use will be limited to ultra hardcore libertarians and true believers. Unlike Bitcoin, there isn't an appreciating asset headline to get the attention of regular people, so won't even have the legitimacy halo Bitcoin benefits from.
