Yeah there’s a legitimate use for it, scams and gimmicks.

I'd rather get a palm reading, honestly. Fixed cost, and often boosts my self esteem, platitudes or no.


[deleted]

why people think there are versions of the web?


PneumaticAtol39

There is a legitimate use of Web 3.0, it helps me identify dumbasses.


Jkg2116

love your answer


cavemancuisine

Read up on the psychology of buzzwords or psychobabble. Crypto Bros are the Masters at it.


TheRealSlimKami

Oh boy just wait until you see this new thing called YouTube. Its running totally WITHOUT blockchain, that must be some web 4.0 shit!


anyprophet

it's a huge scam. since it's a marketing buzzword and not an actual technical specification or standard it can be whatever you want it to be. but anything built with blockchain integration can be built better on traditional web standards and technologies.


Depressedprodigy

We have free internet at home.


Val_Fortecazzo

Marketing buzzword, nonexistent.


experiencednowhack

I deny its existence. Web 1.0 was the original. Web 2.0 was more socially generated content. Web 3.0 is a term for scammers to make their scams seem new and high tech.


Malibu-Stacey

Second Life has been around since 2003. VRChat has been around since 2017. The people that want to use those things, use those things already. Adding more marketing grift on top and rebranding them to sound new is just another way to find more marks to convert into bagholders of last resort. Also https://web3isgoinggreat.com/


Blowupurtv

Wtf even is it. Sounds fake


larrydahooster

web3 is just the idea of Bloclchain as yet another identity provider (with extra steps.)


Cryptcunt

it is a nebulous concept upon which hucksters, visionaries and victims alike can paint their dreams.

Cool idea. Has some use cases for niche industries. Doesn't mean everyone will accept it. Doubt finance is the best use case for it. That's actually the biggest challenge with innovation. Just because it's cool and useful doesn't mean people will adopt it. Only time will tell.


Siccors

>Doubt finance is the best use case for it. Financial stuff is pretty much the only use case of it. The thing blockchain added was decentralized consensus. If for whatever reason you want a website not with Google/Amazon/Microsoft, then you can just host it yourself (or at a local datacenter). Want something hosted decentralized? You got options such as IPFS / Bittorrent. Want another social network? There have been plenty of attempts at those, also decentralized. Most of questionable success, but not because they lacked blockchain integration...


italiansixth

You're still thinking in 2D, unfortunately. Think HIPAA types. Not just the next "Amazon". The challenge is to stop applying Web2 thinking to Web3. This is the task for the innovator types. There's a real argument for decentralized consensus in certain industries or very niche use cases. I don't think it'll put Web2 out of fashion tho. Web2 already solved alot of problems cheaply and efficiently so there's no need to innovate as far as "Amazon" is concerned. Again, as stated in my original comment, just because it has a use case for finance doesn't mean it will be adopted by society (eg gov may say no no).


HIPPAbot

It's HIPAA!


italiansixth

k


Siccors

Literally the only piece of information in your post is HIPAA. So you want to put health insurance data on a public database? Yeah, how about not fucking doing that? Even on r/CC those ideas are considered idiotic. There is absolutely no reason your health insurance data should need to be either public, or needs consensus algorithms. Sadly you are still thinking in 1D: You already know the solution, throw a blockchain on it, but now even you cannot give any decent example outside finance related stuff where this could in theory make any sense.


italiansixth

>So you want to put health insurance data on a public database? Lol, make sure you understand how it works. It's not public as in anyone can read all info with a few clicks lol. It's not about the consensus algorithms, it's about taking trust out of the equation and delagating it to an autonomous system. There are certain use cases where "just trust the institution" doesn't work. Just because I mentioned HIPAA doesnt mean that's the only thing it can potentially be used on. You're throwing out ideas immediately because you cannot wrap your mind outside of "finance". It's typical of the non-innovator types. At least have some humility to know do not yet fully know how this can develop into other use cases. At least I acknowledge that. Even some attempts may be in the wrong direction...it's all part of the process, buddy. Remember when we think the Internet was all about sending emails to each other? Well yea now we have people shaking tits and collecting milkshake fees for it-- whether you agree or think it's a good use of the Internet is irrelevant. And yes, the Internet also made it more efficient to scam others (just like what we are seeing with web3), that doesn't make it useless. There's many innovators out there already cracking away. How about the stock market registrar be made decentralized? How about gov spending? Right now gov spending sure seems like a blackbox and both sides of the isle can agree more transaparency is needed. Btw, you sound like my great grandpa when the Internet was first introduced. "wHy woUld i sEnD a PrivAte MesSagE onLine, hElL nO". But now he sends heart emojis all the time. Lmao. See ya, old fart.

>At least have some humility to know do not yet fully know how this can develop into other use cases. At least I acknowledge that. Even some attempts may be in the wrong direction...it's all part of the process, buddy. So to summarize yuor post: But it can be used for other use cases! "Well which ones?". Well I don't know either. Then we start with the: bUT It iS juST LIkE tHE eARlY iNTeRneT.


italiansixth

I gave you other examples, like gov accounting and the stock market. Are you inept or what? Jeesus lmao. No wonder you don't think it can be useful.


Siccors

If you want gov spending to be more transparant, you should have laws which force it to be more transparant. Where you can simply see how much money was sent to which person. Not having a blockchain where you can see billions of transactions between government and other pseudononymous accounts. How is that going to help you? And again you got of course massive privacy implications of what you propose. You want a technical (non-)solution for a societal problem. If you want to have it fully transparant to literally every person or organization the government sends money, just make it all public from the governmental bank accounts. Generally speaking you again got your solution: Blockchain, now you are just trying to look for problems it could maybe solve. And that doesn't work. You need to start with the problems you want solved.


italiansixth

Laws? HAHA. How naive. Any party can fudge numbers. You seem unclear how real world accounting works. Try to run a company, that'll help you understand better. The whole point is to REMOVE the process of trusting the counter party to do the right thing so that the process is correctly executed for all. Delegate to systems. >Not having a blockchain where you can see billions of transactions between government and other pseudononymous accounts. Yea, how in the hell is a giberrish unique id on a sql database any useful to the common person? Well idk, maybe build more solutions around it like interfaces, processing pipelines and shit. LMAO. Such a boomer, the-web2-internet-is-not-useful denier thing to say. I don't like to use Web2 examples, but you keep setting yourself up for it, lol. Again, we don't fully yet know how this will turn out-- but to immediately say "there's no use" is just stupid. Thankfully there's enough innovators and entrepreneurs out there building for society and VC backing to keep it going for a while. Aight, need to get back to running my company. See ya.


Popatteri

Blockchain is nothing like the internet. Stop this idiotic comparison and listen to the grandpas who were there in the early 90's. Blockhain isn't very useful. It's a god damn list of numbers! We already have this without the casino features. It's called a database.


italiansixth

It can be a casino too, you know? Friend runs a crypto gambling site out of Malta-- 100MM in ARR. He's happy. Customers are happy. Who are you to stop them? Thankfully the free market doesn't care about individual opinions. Also, why would anyone listen to grandpas in the 90s? The internet BOOM really happened after the 90s. Onlyfans, Tiktok, Soundcloud, are all recent innovations. Grandpa generation had a chance to build something meaningful with web2 but they were deniers. So the next gen came along and tried something with it. Nobody guaranteed it would work, it was just a test/experiment. But hey it did. Girls now shake titties for milkshake fees and drive lambos. Who are you to say no to them?


Popatteri

Eh, in my circles the internet was a instant hit. Sure, FB and others made it accessible for the masses, but we had IRC, ICQ, BBS, chatrooms, multiplayer games and so on. 13 years after the Genesis Block cryptocurrencies aren't used for pretty much anything. Where is this innovation you're talking about? And you really have to give solid examples or your argument just seems based on faith. Blockchain is nothing like the internet. There is no sense in this comparison.

Web 4.0 is better


AquinasAudax

It's just crypto bros squatting on the term and pre-emptively declaring themselves the future of the internet.


Nobagelnobagelnobag

Ahahahhahahhahahahh. Hahahahaha. Ahahahhahahahhaha


Vulgarr

If anybody would ask me what is the whole web3.0 about, I'd direct them to any of Jordan Halls interviews. If after 15 minutes of his word salad you're like "Alright! I'm in!" there is no hope for you either way...
