What is Web3
A joke that has been popular on the Internet recently: Escape from the big factory and embrace web3. So, what exactly is web3, and why is it sought after by so many people?
Wikipedia explains Web3 as follows:
web3, also known as Web3.0, is a concept about the development of the World Wide Web
, mainly based on the decentralization of blockchain, encrypted
currency and non-homogeneous tokens. The concept of web3 related to the blockchain
was proposed by Gavin Wood, the co-founder of Ethereum,
in 2014, and it has attracted the attention of cryptocurrency enthusiasts,
large technology companies and startups in 2021.
After reading the encyclopedia explanation, we seem to be in a fog. Before talking about web3 in detail, let's take a look at what web1.0 and web2.0 are?
Web1.0, 2.0, 3.0 comparison
Web1.0, to put it bluntly, means that content producers, managers, and direct beneficiaries are all platforms, such as portal sites such as Sohu, Sina, and Netease. The platform uniformly produces and manages content, and then users pay or free access to information from the website;
Web2.0, to put it bluntly, means that content producers have shifted to users, and management rights and the most direct beneficiaries are platforms, such as: Douyin, Bilibili, Taobao, WeChat, Facebook, youtebu, etc.; for example: users To operate small videos on Douyin, users buy traffic from Douyin, and then more users can watch the video, so as to achieve the content the video wants to convey.
In Web3.0, content producers, managers, and direct beneficiaries are all users. It seems that there are no specific products on the market (does mining count?), and a comparison chart of the three is given below:
Web2.0 has brought a lot of convenience to people's life, for example: the shopping platform allows consumers to buy their favorite products without leaving home; The communication is more immediate, and the education platform allows scholars to acquire knowledge more targetedly.
Although web2.0 has brought so many benefits to the society, it has a big disadvantage that the content produced by users has to go through the centralized supervision of the platform. When people use these services, they are also collected by a large number of users. Information, user behavior, and then processed by algorithms, so you will be bombarded with accurate push advertisements, various phone calls, and text messages, so that the platform can earn greater benefits. When these centralized platforms become bigger and stronger , hegemonic terms, platform oligarchs are born, they have the power of life and death over the content produced by users, deleting posts, banning accounts, and being forced to pay for traffic, etc. have become a kind of unfairness in web2. helpless.
As a result, Web3.0 was born. It wants to break this unfairness and use a decentralized technology on the Internet that can leave traces. There are many such decentralized technologies, such as blockchain or encrypted electronic currency. etc.
The vision of Web3.0 is beautiful. It requires decentralization, which is a supplement and optimization to Web2.0. However, there are still many chaos in its use, and there are many products developed based on web3.0 on the market. In fact, it is not decentralized, but a payment button that can be linked to cryptocurrency. They call this 3.0. In fact, it is convenient for a group of people to continue to use digital currency to continue cutting leeks, such as blockchain mining.
The comparison between centralization and decentralization is as follows:
In recent years, society has thrown us more and more new concepts. In the past, it might have been one in a few years, but now it has become several a year, or even a few a month. Why is it so fast?
Perhaps it is because the fruits left by every technological revolution in the past are quickly divided, and this speed is getting faster and faster, so we look forward to a new technological or industrial revolution to make this cake bigger, but unfortunately no matter what Community group buying, artificial intelligence, and blockchain are not enough to make a cake bigger at once like the invention of electricity by humans or the birth of the Internet, allowing more people to participate in social division of labor or obtain a more decent life, but Trapped in an endless involution, Web 3.0 involves the oligarchs of 2.0, and artificial intelligence involves the traditional industry. They have not created a new thing, but continue to refine and involute the original things. , so we constantly update the concept to paralyze ourselves and let everyone believe that this may represent the future, so everyone has no time to think about it. Get on the car first, and you may be left behind if you don’t get on the car.
Tesla chief designer Musk wrote in a tweet: "Has anyone seen the real web3? I haven't seen it!"
Although Web3 has attracted the attention of many large companies, there is still a long and hard way to realize its true decentralized vision. After all, this is the battlefield of capital games, and the law of the weak and the strong is the truth!
misunderstanding
Web3.0 != Blockchain != Mining
The decentralization of Web3.0 and the decentralization of the blockchain are not the same concept. Many people think that Web3 is the blockchain and mining. This is a concept exchange. Web3.0 can be used in many fields. For example, media, finance, etc., the friends who have mined mines believe that they are already familiar with this. In addition, the country has also issued regulations related to virtual currency control, which can be found in:

Little Pessimism: The vision of Web3.0 is decentralization, who is the center? Whoever is stronger is the center. If you think about it carefully, can you go to this center in China? In addition, Web3.0 is, after all, the carrier of content. Where there is a carrier, there is bound to be an entrance. Will it eventually develop into a group of oligarchs replacing another group of oligarchs?

Double-edged sword: Technology is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you may be able to cut other people’s leeks. Keep an eye out for these trends.

Wait and see: Web3.0, I believe that in a certain sense, it can better serve human beings, but whether decentralized technology is a true science or a routine, whoever sets the rules of the game will have the initiative, regardless of the authenticity We will all wait and see.
