My understanding of web3 is based on the idea of P2P first, and removing cloud based services as much as possible. Effectively torrent, IPFS, etc. I don't understand why people conflate currency (which HN despises) with that concept, because it's not a necessary aspect. Also, this post doesn't really say anything at all about the tech, or solutions they provided in their company, but simply complains that the marketing folks didn't provide anything. Shouldn't that have been their job as a dev? You can't complain about an idea taking off that you were supposed to develop and simply didn't. If it was a bad idea, then change it and do something else.

Old man yells at cloud.

Web3 morphed to mean "things that use a distributed blockchain." That's why we hate it. (It's not just currency either; it's anything blockchain, including NFT.)

"P2P web" needs a new name.
