Web3 is a Pyramid scheme for people who get hyped from just hearing the word 'blockchain' but who don't have any technical understanding of how one computer actually communicates to another computer.
Web3 scammers insert meaningless hand-wavy-techno-babble homophone phrases like 'Layer 1', 'off-chain', and 'decentralized' to hook FOMO VC into buying into vaporware.
Web3 is literally not a real thing. If you want real talk about empowering the users to own the network infrastructure then you better be talking about publicly owned ISPs and data centers; not about bullshit 'smart contract' VMs deployed into the proprietary Cloud environment of one Global monopoly or Another.
