#2All: this is quite an interesting article. It deserves much better than the tedious flamewar that this topic has routinely been converging to, so let's give it a go.
If you're going to comment, please focus on specific, interesting things in the article that you're curious about.
Please don't post generic, shallow, obvious, indignant, and/or dismissive comments—those are repetitive and predictable, we've had more than enough of them, they're tedious, not what this site is for, and we don't need more.

#3This is not what I expected from Moxie. A writes very good account of his experience trying to do some dapp / NFT stuff. He eloquently draws attention to the problems that are based in human behavior.
Definitely worth the read. Both sides of the debate could elevate their arguments if they ponder what Moxie has written.

#4I've known Moxie to often be right. And I think he happens to be right about this.
Re: My First Impressions of Web3
#5Moxie is no fan of decentralization. And he made why very clear with concise and incisive arguments.

I'm perplexed with him writing this piece and, at the same time, adding crypto based payments to Signal...
Has he written anything on Signal and payments?

#7This is a really interesting breakdown of web3 (or as he calls it later on web2x2). I haven't dove into the world of web3 yet but it does seem incredibly ironic that there's already seemingly a large amount of consolidation around platforms to make web3 more accessible to people. This is good for early adopters and artists who are generating wealth during the gold rush but I don't think it's good for "web3 the idea" as a distributed protocol.

How indeed:

Please don't degenerate into flamewar.
