When did web 3.0 stop being synonymous with semantic web? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web

Since when was the semantic web a thing? Metamask exists and people use it, I think it wins the 3.0 designation.

Some jumping off points:

Find a DAO aligned with something you like. Join their discord and get engaged. It's really the wild west right now.

The Berkeley course is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks for sharing this.

Reading this conceptual overview was what made me excited today. I knew all the basics but it was nice that someone put them all together. https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-is-web3/

I agree with what another commenter said about getting some money and trying it out for yourself.

I'd add on though to try out some DeFi protocols as well. Using things like DEXs, lending protocols, and yield farms. Experience is the best way to learn for sure.

Best way to grok crypto is to try it.

Buy $500 worth of ether. Download metamask. Login to opensea. Buy a cheap NFT.

Look at it as an education budget.
