As with all things crypto, the product is number go up... until it doesn't, and by then the insiders have taken profits. Rinse and repeat.

- EGreg 4y agoWeb3 sucks, yes. But that’s because it’s based on blockchain. Web5 won’t be. Not all things crypto are about speculation and number go up. Many projects have added tokens for utility. THOSE projects are eventually going to be far better than their Web2 counterparts. By the people, not just for the people IPFS team released Filecoin to let you store files in more than one “cloud” company like AWS or GCP or Azure. MaidSAFE goes way further. They are building the ultimate in decentralized, uncensorable networks. Jack Dorsey’s Web5 is using really good technologies like Microsoft’s ION (sidetree protovol) for identity, etc. Okay and now for the part that will get me downvotes… I started two companies in 2010 and 2017 respectively, to build open source software and give it away on GitHub. I built them for Web2 ans Web3 to decentralize social networks, payment systems, voting, governance and more. Because communities need to run their own open source software, rather than relying on states and corporations. Otherwise our communications and transactions will be taking place on privately owned and centrally planned platforms.

It is not shilling any tokens. It is actually BUILT open source solutions, on github, that you can take and use today. If you don’t like something, at least comment and use your words before downvoting.
- SilverBirch 4y agoJust to be clear, how many planets does the InterPlanetary File System operate on?
- moralestapia 4y agoHonestly, IPFS is one of the very few things I would vouch for from that ecosystem.

- tehsauce 4y agoI appreciate the points you’re making here but the phrase “web5” is so extremely toxic that it makes it really hard to judge the other things you saying fairly.

- EGreg 4y agoIs web4 any better? How is web5 toxic when it barely was announced? Web2 is VCs funding closed silos and all our interactions and public forums on privately owned platforms. How is that better? In only one way: it scales!
- DonHopkins 4y agoMy web goes to 11 and has for about 9 years. Because web11 happened ages ago. What the fuck are you people doing arguing about web3, web4, and web5?
- randomhodler84 4y agoYeah web5 is the real decentralized monetary web project. I am keen to see new paradigms form.
- msbarnett 4y ago> IPFS team released Filecoin to let you store files in more than one “cloud” company like AWS or GCP or Azure. Which again looks like the problem being solved is just financializing something you could already do just fine without the "coin" to begin with.
- CactusBlue 4y agoYou can use IPFS without any blockchain, Filecoin just incentivizes users to host the files
