Thoughts on whether Web 3.0 will become a reality? Or will it remain restricted to communities who truly care about these things?<p>Why or why not?<p>Web 3.0 - Decentalization of services, Etherium, IPFS, Status.im.
It'll happen, when someone finds the right way to market it to the masses. That's always been the challenge for decentralised services and cryptocurrency, they're neat technology ideas with reasons for their hardcore fans to use them, but they lack obvious use cases for the general public, or at least said use cases haven't been communicated properly.<p>When someone figures out how to sell the general public on these ideas though (and the walled gardens end up stuck against an idea they can't replicate due to their structure), then these things will become huge.
Yes, it will become a reality. The walled gardens will lose. Programmable economic incentives (ETH, etc) are an incredibly powerful concept we're just beginning to explore the implications of. Decentralized currency and web infrastructure is a must for freedom of speech and liberty, in my opinion. I think it's too powerful a concept to keep contained. I think even China's great firewall will crack under the coming progress.
I hope not, it will probably be all about blockchain this and that.<p><a href="https://i.giphy.com/media/qmfpjpAT2fJRK/giphy.mp4" rel="nofollow">https://i.giphy.com/media/qmfpjpAT2fJRK/giphy.mp4</a>
