It's what a lot of web3 believers are trying to build, but it's very hard to both profit and give up control, resulting in a lot of people pretending to do web3 but really it's just web2 with some web3 window-dressing. But, people will keep trying, and maybe they will get it right one day. The dollars right now aren't flowing into web3 though so it may be a while.
- HumanOstrich 3y agoOh plenty of dollars flow into "Web3" -- they just immediately flow out to scammers and hackers. "Revenue is way up for our Web3 SaaS this qua- aaaand it's gone."
- dumbfounder 3y agoYep that's the other problem, people write off web3 because of scammers and other scumbaggery, but there is good work being done.
- HumanOstrich 3y agoThat's rather disingenuous. The problem is that the technology enables illicit activity on a large scale because of its core premises. The problem is NOT that people write it off because of the risks built-in to the technology, at least for most people. I'm sure scammers and crypto zealots do consider that a problem.
