Web3 is dead. Please stop.

Just for the sake of clarity in communication, OP has chosen to define “death” as $1.72 billion of on-chain transaction volume in the last 24h [0] [0] https://defillama.com/dexs

Bot-to-bot wash trades as evidence of legitimacy, classic web3.

Unsupported conspiracy theories, classic cryptophobia.

How many different versions of something like a twitter-clone (as an example) are users willing to try? Buttons moving around, functionality changed or maybe even lost because the majority of the users don't want an edit button?

I highly doubt this is a viable approach.

Going to do y'all a favor and explain EXACTLY why this (and most DAO-like thingies) are goofy. The issue is trust. What you're trying to do is to encode trust and incentives among human beings, and it's far easier to do that WITHOUT complicating it via code.

I thought crypto was about solving a LACK of trust?

Another attempt to shill more and more tokens.

What is wrong with open and simple protocols, like NOSTR? Thanks to the different NIPs (NOSTR Improvement Proposals) [1] any client can choose to support or ignore anything that another has bolted on.

And incentives for developers, you ask? If your client or relay is truly better than the competition, then users want to use your software/Webapp. They will not mind paying a small fee to use it, which has been possible for years by using value4value-like systems. [2]

Multiple studies have consistently found the majority of crypto/ dex/ dapp TXs being done by bots.

Crypto is about trusting the validity of code over the integrity of people. There is a bit more to it than that, in trusting that micro-economic incentives and the design of the protocol will guard the protocol against capture, but that's the gist of it.

Ultimately, open source code has a higher safety potential than the integrity of individuals, so I believe static services will trend toward becoming Ethereum protocols.

Survival of the fittest "Darwin" project?

Only if they all were competing in the same market. Since they aren't, I like to think of it more as them competing for which one becomes the base meme. When people think of "dog" which variant do they imagine? Lab, husky, french bulldog, or something else? Which dog type "won" and created the strongest meme?

They're both software, so it's still confusing for the rest of us. Would you still stick with that reasoning if it was named "Linux" instead?
