The web is the decentralized web.
A server that you can keep at home that you can plug in to make it part of this huge network of machines located all around the world that communicate with each other - this is the decentralized web.
- k__ 4y ago"You" can do it, yes. Most people can't.
- tsimionescu 4y agoThat has nothing to do with centralization, and everything to do with the fact that it's hard to run a website with 0 computer skills, which crypto doesn't improve on in any way.
- k__ 4y agoIt has all to do with centralization and crypto certainly helps by providing a way of decentralization that doesn't require everyone to run infra in their home.
- arnvald 4y agoIn the decentralized web you don’t have to run your infra either, you can use one of thousands of hosting companies that will run it for you.
- uoaei 4y agoCrypto today is dominated by a few central players (wallets, trading) with strict access requirements, including unambiguous government-issued ID. Even mining is dominated by people with much more capital than you have access to, so that it is never worth it to run a miner as a private individual. Everything "web3" has been co-opted by corporatized interests trying to invent fresh new ways to get in on the scam before regulators make it unprofitable. Access is difficult for private individuals for more reasons than just "technology is complicated".
