It depends on your perspective. As a youngling who just got their first iPhone and starts experimenting, they likely grok web3 fast and have several wallets setup, probably have a Twitter with a .eth handle and:
types in all lowercase and constantly talks about web3 and crypto
As a forty-something I just can't grok web3. It seems futile and unnecessary when you consider all that we have already. 'How much is enough?'
I imagine a lot of people my age are just coasting, making full use of already existing tech and don't seek 'the new shiny' since we've already done that in our youth and that game gets boring. We've done it. We've arrived. Tech still has its issues, but we don't complain.
- superchroma 4y agoWeb3 isn't real, honestly. There's zero products made on it, just grifts, and what enthusiasts describe as the absolute bedrock foundations for a hypothetical new banking system (defi lending) - which is wrong anyway because banks don't want to play with collateral on a hundred different fake currencies, they just want a system to talk to each other to work with real currencies, and real money and crypto is fundamentally incompatible. The whole thing is an embarrassing joke, and every good promised thing, from wind farms in Ghana to banking the unbanked hasn't happened as promised.
