“ It's very hard to convince somebody of a thing when financial gains depend on them believing in it.” - the summary of why there’s such a big divide with web3 between those who have money in the game, and those who do not.
It also explains the most common response I hear from those invested in web3: “You don’t understand and it’s not something that can be explained. You need to be a part of it to grasp it.”
- gostsamo 5y agoSome people would say that investing their money in web3 is possible only if those people believe in it. This is a substantial difference if it was just their salaries hanging there.

- okwubodu 5y agoWould you say there are people whose financial gains depend on preventing the things “Web3” claims to do?
- Guest42 5y agoI find the web 3 claims to be a hodgepodge of misplaced hope and occasional virtue signaling. Can you elaborate a claim that you think could be realistically implemented that in turn could prevent the financial gains of others?

- k__ 5y agoTo be fair, there are a bunch of smart people who have no idea how things work out of their expertise, even if it's related. Has nothing to do with money.
