Crypto is about making sure the supply of something stays limited. Seems pretty contradictory to the spirit of free creative expression the Web Revival is going for.
- scyclow 4y agoI think they solve different problems. I love independent websites, and the web is an amazing medium for serving stateless content. But I think web3 compliments it really well when you want to do something that hooks into a larger, stateful ecosystem.
- civilized 4y agoI'm sure you can think of a much simpler way of doing stateful things with networked computers than crypto.
- scyclow 4y agoI think it really depends on what you want to do. If you want build a comment system for your website, then web3 is totally the wrong tool for the job. If you want to write an application that coordinates data across multiple websites, and you're worried about servers going down or APIs changing, then it's a little trickier to think of a simpler way.
- tjstebbing 4y agoExcept for instance something like Dogecoin that is the direct opposite of what you're saying?
- civilized 4y agoThe supply of dogecoins is increasing but still strictly limited at any given time. They're not like artwork that can be copied and shared by anyone.
