Its a marketing term in the same way web 2 is. That doesn't mean it isn't something new and useful though, just like web 2 was.

Web 2 as a term itself was coined much later when people needed to distinguish web 3 from status quo

Wrong. The term “Web 2.0” was coined back in 1999.

Here are my notes as I attempt to wonder about whether there are investment opportunities for an infrastructure investor.

What is a dApp? https://twitter.com/TylerJewell/status/1474468145704280064?s...

For users Web1: read only Web2: read-write Web3: read-write-own

> Web3: read-write-own

Web3: read slowly - write slowly - vague claims of "ownership" limited to particular blockchains each with no authority over anything off-chain.

But hey, smart contracts allow a long chain of intermediaries to bleed a percentage off all transactions.

people enjoy reading and writing more than they care about owning their data. I don’t care if my Amazon purchase history is on Amazon servers or mine.

This is the absolute worst place to ask that question

Quoted post unavailable.

I’m only a little bit salty. Part of me cannot believe the government (or whatever powers that run this world) allows a deflationary alternative currency to continue to exist. I feel that it’s only allowed to continue in order to build a case for central bank cryptos that can substituted during an inevitable and convenient crisis.

Crypto people do not seem to have endeared themselves to regular folk whose assistance will no doubt be needed to prevent such government intervention.
