Web3 Was the Tech Industry's Attempt to Make Speculation Sound Innovative

Remember Web3? The decentralised future where users owned their data and corporations did not control everything? The revolution that was going to disrupt Big Tech and return power to the people? It was speculation. That is all it ever was. The tech industry took gambling on tokens and wrapped it in revolutionary language to make it sound like innovation. The revolution was not coming. The tokens were coming. That was the whole thing.

Crypto Solved No Problems That Regular People Actually Have

Crypto has been around for over fifteen years now. Bitcoin launched in 2009. Ethereum in 2015. We have had a decade and a half of innovation, billions of dollars of investment, countless startups, multiple boom and bust cycles, and a generation of developers working on blockchain technology. Name one problem crypto solved for regular people. Not hypothetical problems. Not problems that might exist in authoritarian regimes. Not problems that only crypto people have because they got into crypto. Real problems. The kind normal people experience and would pay to fix.
