#2A pretty comprehensive overview that covers a lot of ground in the crypto/Web3 landscape.

#3Excellent post. Succinctly cutting through the crypto hype-squad and addressing the concerns, unveiling the shortcomings and outlining the possibilities of the current Web3 ecosystem.
Highly recommended read.

#4It's a good article. Much to think about.
I'm not sure that "blockchain" is central to "Web3". "Web3" may be augmented reality, which doesn't need a blockchain.

#5> If the crypto economy has productive ends, they must ultimately rest here
Seeing this put as a conditional is refreshing after all the hype.

#6Hi all — I wrote these notes with my colleagues at PSL while trying to wrap our heads around the madness that is Web3/Crypto. I’m an engineer by background and sort of a skeptic by nature; I think of this piece as a collection of loosely connected, hopefully pragmatic opinions from a builder’s perspective.

Hah! I do think there is an aspect of “cool club” that, whether successfully or not, the Web3 community wants to get across.
I’m an outsider to that community. Perhaps @pinboard said it less hypefully when he described it as an “unregulated casino with a bar scene attached”.

#9Why in the name of the lord would you block my ability to open links in new tabs (on the main site)
Edit: this site navigation experience is one of the worst i've ever encountered. I'm really interested in looking around but it's so painfully slow.
Edit 2: the new tab is blocked on the main site, not on the blog post

(I’m not having trouble with that and I certainly don’t intend to block you; what os/browser are you using?)
