  Web3 is you being able to effect a transaction from your own browser, without any one else's permission. Calling that a 'cult' and advocating persecution of people using such technology, or working towards making it more usable, is pathological. Web3 really reveals the pathological malevolence at the heart of the regulatory state and its anti-libertarian apologists. And what you advocate would be dystopian. Now that any one with a computer can create digital art and offer it up as an investment on a programmatic contract systemm, it is clear that the laws passed in the 1930s, if maintained, are going to require increasingly draconian intrusions into private interaction to enforce. Similar to how if we as a society tried to continue enforcing obscenity laws into the internet age: effective enforcement would have required prohibiting public access to strong encryption, and heavy handed treatment of those found flouting the law, to make an example out of them for every one else.
