Please invest in the Meatverse (http://meatver.se), it's totally not a joke.

The decision to call all of this "web 3.0" without actually consulting any developers (that don't own/trade cryptocurrencies) was such a mistake.

No - I don't want to write inherently buggy smart contracts for your scam. If I wanted to do that, I would have gone into fintech awhile ago.

I'm hearing disturbing reports of all sorts of hacking, thievery, and even trafficking of drugs and people spreading to lawless protocols like DNS, HTTP, TCP. The government must do something to get rid of these dangerous protocols before it's too late.

I like how half of these supposed 'bad news' articles are something like "Some Famous Person made an NFT... and people on Twitter are mad about it!"

But how can the first wave of people get rich off of it at the expense of the second and third wave of people?

I'll call Web3 Web3 when I don't need to keep an active whitelist via uMatrix. When I don't need to use uOrigin and when people actually host it on their own infrastructure rather then selling themselves short on the cloud. I will also call it Web3 when it actually brings people together just as Web1 did. And not Web2 where a platform has two social sides shouting at the same bandwagon.

I agree that it's a shame, but looking back at “web 2.0”, wasn't it kind of the same? I'm absolutely guilty about being excited about it at the time, but in retrospect, a bunch of rounded corners and incremental inclusion of Ajax didn't really warrant a SemVer major version update either.

Edit: actually, maybe the justification of the SemVer bump is that people stopped caring about IE5 support :)
