Web3 was doomed from the start and we all knew it. Instead of strictly focusing on the decentralization of the web, it became shorthand for, “here’s how we turn http into another ICO/NFT grift!” It should have been a peer-to-peer document share, almost a bit-torrent for the 21st century. It could have been impactful, instead it will fade into obscurity just like the swaths of goddamn useless blockchain product diarrhea we got to enjoy until ChatGPT came along and the world fell in love with LLMs.
But I’m not mad, just disappointed.
