I don’t know. This hype-crypto-machine is not catching up with my “feelings” about the future of the Web. Maybe I am getting old, but aside from some communication protocol usage and some form of authenticity (which is questionable), I don’t see web3.

I would go out on a limb and say that if this is web3, I don’t want to have anything to do with it. This is an outrageous waste of resources and energy with awful environmental impact, driven primarily by pure greed and wishful thinking.

Looking at mindset of the VC’s, which are giving this “things” validation, scares the living sh*t out of me.

More and more, implementation of modern ‘tech’ is pushing me towards abandoning the ship and moving into the woods somewhere.

Don’t let me start with NFT’s. It is horrible. The impact of this thing over a lot of my friends is getting ridiculous. I somehow understand “the money” aspect (ponzi scheme, money laundering), but recently I got “the cult” vibes from some of them and closed the door permanently.

So hard “no” from me. I already have a “Metaverse” in which I feel comfortable, it is called reality.

And Web 2.0 is enough for my needs.:)
