You joke, but after the backlash to web3 on here I saw multiple people trying to rebrand it as web4.

I remember back in 2008 they were trying to push Web 4.0 as the successor to Web 2.0, because it was the web squared.

The web should proceed as a series of prime numbers, so web 5.0 follows web 3.0

Web 1.1 because it's irrational

Well, 1.1 is a rational number. It is the ratio 11/10. Web sqrt(2) perhaps?

Sorry, I meant transcendental in binary... And the joke doesn't work now.

Use fibonacci numbers and argue about whether they stand for time or effort

That clearly went nowhere, because it would have needed to be rounded instead.

This whole "web #" thing makes me sick. The worst part is it will probably work eventually. It's just so stupid.

Just call it web3.14 and add a decimal every time someone makes off with > $1MM in a crypto heist.

Call it "meta currency".

The Zuck has called. He wants his Libra back.
