Why web3 matters

OpenSea

Tokens can also be sent directly from one user to another. No more relying on Google to give you your YouTube earnings, or directing your audience to Patreon so they can donate - users can directly 'tip' you a token if they like your content. There are also the famous NFTs, which, sorry Chris, do not let you "own a piece of the internet". NFTs are tokens too, but they are not equal in value to each other. While owning an OG token is like owning a dollar, owning an NFT is more like owning a painting. All dollars are equal in value, but not all paintings are equal in value. NFTs are each unique, and they're pretty cool - check out OpenSea if you're interested in getting into it.

It's super easy to start your own journey into web3, and you can get involved today by installing Metamask, a browser extension to make your browser compatible with blockchain apps. If you're a developer interested in getting into the web3 space, I cannot recommend Nader Dabit's content enough.

have i been pwned?

The Data Economy isn't just an exploitive and rigged business model, but it also has devastating consequences when things go wrong. When so much data is owned by one entity, it makes them a prime target for hacking. And oh boy, do these guys get hacked. For a glimpse into how insecure the Data Economy is, have a look at Wikipedia's list of data breaches. And to find out if your data has been exposed to the public, enter your email into Have I Been Pwned. Not only are there accidental data breaches, but there have been cases of purposeful illegal selling of data from GAFA. There is no sign of this stopping, and no incentive to stop either. That's where web3 comes in.

Cardano

Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two biggest blockchains in existence, but others like Solana and Cardano are slowly catching up. There are hundreds of decentralized apps, aka dapps, already deployed on Ethereum, and building on the blockchain is getting easier by the minute. It is by far the most secure decentralized architecture.

Most apps you use are still web2. The majority of dapps out there are purely for finance, like trading crypto or buying and selling NFTs. But we're getting there, and web3 is already beginning to expand into huge industries, like music, video streaming, and even gaming.
