The web3 stuff sure does look like fads to me.
Early 2010s tech boom, while it involved a lot of money, felt like it was directing money at generally useful things. Cloud, Big Data, AI etc. were “buzzwords” but were generating real value for companies that used them correctly. It seemed like VCS had learned from 2000s.
With web3 we see a lot of vaporware and pyramid schemes. It is unlikely to pop like it did back then considering how entrenched technology is today but it would still wipe out a lot of value and further entrench the bigger companies.
- loeg 5y agoweb3 is a dumb scam, sure. It isn't where any significant fraction of the money is.
- Apocryphon 5y agoYeah, blockchain is more of an attention and hype sink than where the majority of VC funding is going.
- FerociousTimes 5y agoIsn't web 3.0 dead on arrival already?
- antifa 5y agoI feel like the only way it's not dead on arrival is if it's forced onto us in ways we can't ignore by monopolies.
