tldr; this article describes one problem that a blockchain solves better than existing non-blockchain solutions (identity).

My issue with the article is that it uses a lot of words to try to explain why web3 and blockchain may be the future. But for what point? If an important technology comes around which happens to use web3 or blockchain, i’ll see it’s important from its description and i’ll adopt it. I don’t need to support “web3” as a concept, because web3 basically means nothing. And i don’t think that web3 or blockchain is intrinsically bad, i just haven’t seen anything particularly useful with those technologies yet.
