#2Reading through the linked article on "real world uses for Web3", most of them seem to consist of things that public key cryptography has been able to solve for decades (persistent identity, multiple persistent identities) or things you could do anyway ("right now, people can only go to facebook or Google. With Web3, everyone can have their own space!!") because the writer has apparently never heard of a web server.
Another HNer made a good point recently: Compute power is nearing post scarcity. Web3 is people trying to make it scarce again.

#3Web3 is not bullshit, nobody actually defined it properly, just like nobody defined properly what is Web0, Web1 and Web2. Web versioning methodology is bs, not the general concept of pinpointing what makes a big leap.
Does anybody here have a link to proper methodology for versioning the Web?
ps. Web is simply referring to a web of connected “pages” through links. Pretty much anybody who claims to work on Web3 says nothing about links.

> The hazy vision of new decentralized internet, built on the blockchain
Ten years ago, web 3.0 was supposed to be the semantic web (whatever happened to this fad).

#7It saddens me that they chose "web3" for the latest crypto pyramid scheme.
Call it what you want, but please don't sully the web with your plat du jour crypto antics.
Also for what it is worth, the web has been decentralised from the very start, I don't see what the fuss is about apart from just everyone getting rich selling the next hot coin/token/whatever.

So far, all "WebX" names turned out to be bullshit (or at best, pointless). Besides, the cryptobros seem to have a somewhat short memory: "Web3" was going to be the "Semantic Web" (which of course turned out to be bullshit too), so if anything, we're now at "Web4" for the next pointless hype cycle.

So like "agile development", everybody will define it by themselves.

social networking 'web2' had little lot to do with web also
