1. This stuff is not webby, usually. Hash trees are not the web. IPFS is not the web. NFTs are not the web. PoW is not the web.<p>2. The web2 meme was hype from the beginning. Just let it die.<p>3. Other tech (like, RDF) already tried to claim the term “web 3,” years ago. Trying to snarf it isn't even original.<p>4. Aspiring to be “web 3” is euphoria. It's delusional. The web is a monster success. Almost nothing in krypto compares.<p>When people talk about crypto or web3 what they usually mean is P2P. Just say it if that's what you mean.
<i>Other tech (like, RDF) already tried to claim the term “web 3,” years ago.</i><p>That was Web 3.0. Which in some ways makes this even more egregiously cringe. It's just different enough to be different and just similar enough to be confusing, while simultaneously conveying no semantic information at all (which to be fair, neither did "Web 3.0", which is kinda ironic...).
