One, you may not understand blockchain, but you are living in a world that predates it.

We go 'online' every day—reading news, posting on social media, watching short videos, using payment apps; it seems very free and convenient.

But have you ever thought about who the real controllers behind all this are?

The text you write, the photos you post, and even your social accounts do not truly belong to you. They are stored on a platform's servers, subject to company agreements and technical control.

You can log in today because the system allows you; if you disappear tomorrow, no one may inform you of the reason.

All of this seems normal, but it is actually dangerous: we have handed over **'ownership' to others, only retaining 'usage rights'**.

Two, the essence of Web3 is to return the keys to yourself.

If you had to explain what Web3 is in one sentence, it would be:

Web3 is a way for you to regain your digital identity and assets.

It is not a product, but a concept—a way to reclaim everything you should have from others.

In the traditional internet, you are renting services from others: accounts, content, wallets, and even your data are all 'temporarily' allowed for your use by others.

And in Web3, what you own is not just an entry point, but complete 'sovereignty':
Your own private key, your data records, your assets, your identity—all of these are under your control and cannot be unilaterally revoked by the platform.

Three, the underlying logic of Web3 is to rebuild 'trust'.

Why should the internet have platforms? Why do we rely on intermediaries, institutions, and referees?

Because humans lack trust in each other, we rely on one 'center' after another to coordinate and manage.

But these centers have gradually turned into new 'power structures': they not only coordinate us but also control us, censor us, and even profit from us.

Web3 proposes a fundamental reversal:

Can we build a self-operating, self-validating, self-protecting system without relying on trust, but on structure?

Blockchain, cryptographic algorithms, smart contracts, decentralized identities—behind these seemingly technical terms lies a simple question:

'When I can't trust anyone, what should I trust?'

The answer of Web3 is: trust 'the structure itself'. Trust in open, transparent, and tamper-proof mathematical rules.

Four, the experience of Web3 is something you may have already felt.

You may not realize it, but you are already in contact with Web3.

Have you ever used a digital wallet? Have you learned about NFTs? Have you heard of Bitcoin or Ethereum?

These are the infrastructures of the Web3 world; they are no longer 'technical experiments' but are quietly building a new digital order globally.

When you connect your wallet to a decentralized website, there is no need to register, log in, or enter a verification code; with just one signature, you are 'online'.

It is not that you are 'borrowing' an account, but you are entering a system that does not rely on intermediaries, maintained entirely by rules, with yourself as the credential.

Five, the ideal of Web3 is not to make money, but to attain freedom.

There is no denying that today's Web3 industry is still chaotic, filled with speculation, scams, and trading.

Many people's impression of Web3 is merely limited to 'digital currency' and 'money-making tools'.

But if you are willing to look deeper, you will find that the ideals of Web3 are much grander than just making money:

It is a reconstruction of information order, a 'decentralization revolution' in the digital age.

What it aims to solve is not how to get rich faster, but:

  • How can we self-organize in a world without a central referee?

  • How to establish a value distribution system that does not rely on identity and background?

  • How to ensure that freedom, privacy, and autonomy are not eroded by technology?

This is a fundamental question of civilization, a journey to reclaim 'who am I'.

Six, we need Web3, not because it is mature, but because the world has become too unfree.

Today you may not feel that there is anything wrong with this system.

But when your account is suddenly banned, assets frozen, content deleted, or identity misjudged... you will realize how fragile 'digital freedom' really is.

Web3 is not a trend but a response to the reality of the structure.

It tells you that you no longer need to rely on the rights granted by platforms; instead, you can hold the keys yourself and protect the proof of your existence.

Just like Bitcoin is not for 'quick payments', but to prove:
In a world without government, credit, or guarantees, we can still achieve trust through structure.

Seven, conclusion: Web3 is not the future; it is the starting point for you to truly own yourself.

Web3 will not suddenly replace everything that exists, but it provides a path—a path that is fairer, more transparent, and relies less on others.

This is a revolution about 'ownership' and an awakening about 'sense of existence'.

It is not because it is perfect, but because it makes us realize for the first time that we have been living our lives using someone else's keys.
