Is Web 3.0 Really The Future?
Blockchains and the concept of Non-Fungible Tokens are really powerful & innovative technologies, where scarcity has been produced for the first time in history on a digital system.However, I need to some questions answered:1) In Web 3.0, every data you write into the blockchain (for example, a simple upvote) costs gas fees, and even though these are small, these micropayments act more as a psychological deterrent, to the point where most people wouldn't be willing to leave behind the free realm of Web 2.0, even at the expense of their personal data. Just think about the internet users in less developed countries in the east, some of these gas fees make up a meal for them.2) The only solid and new applications of Web 3.0 I see that cannot be replicated on Web 2.0 is the realm of DeFi, but skeuomorphic implementations of existing apps that exist on Web 2.0 into Web 3.0 (decentralized social media) not only face the issue I described above but how does someone maintain privacy in such an environment where every data you enter is public on the blockchain? Moreover, how would you combat cyberbullying, hate speech, etc on such a censor-resistant platform?The way I see it, personally looking forward, is that the future will actually be a weird metamorphosis of the Web 2.0 we know today, borrowing some of the core centralization features described in 1 and 2, while also reaping most of the powerful benefits that Web 3.0 offers while also taking away the negatives of it. Would you guys agree to that?
